SPACE BUMPER VINTAGE MODEL White 1:43

Model view: white body with rounded edges, simple one-piece black wheels and wide, slightly protruding wings. A three-colour stripe – red, green and black – dominates the side, while a red decorative element on the roof emphasises the vehicle's space-themed character. Two vertical fins give the silhouette a substantial appearance, while the short overhangs and bumper-like profile suggest a bump and go mechanism. The whole model has a matt finish, typical of budget plastic diecast models from the late 1970s. The model is called Space Bumper, and the lettering and graphics are modest but legible. A metal flint wheel corresponding to a spark generator is visible at the rear – when moving, the vehicle produces sparks in the upper chimneys. The construction remains simple, but was deliberately designed to easily reproduce movement after colliding with an obstacle. The lack of manufacturer data does not rule out production in Hong Kong or Japan in the late 1970s or early 1980s, as suggested by the characteristic wheels and overall shape. Although modest, this diecast model captures the spirit of the era and is an interesting collector's item for enthusiasts of plastic toys and space themes.

Used, collectible diecast model; after restoration it is like new (without a box, unless a box is shown in the photos). We restore models with 3D-printed replacements for missing parts and special paints made for restoring model cars. If the model shows signs of use, it has been intentionally left partly unrestored to keep its individual vintage character. The photos show the actual condition of the model.

The date given in the title or description is not always the date the casting was made. It may refer to the design of the model, the first casting series or the production of the real car. We give the dates the manufacturer states on the base. If in doubt, check all information against the photo of the base of the model.
