RIO 1:43 diecast Cars from Italy

OUT OF PRODUCTION. company is no longer in business.
some of the finest detailing on 1:43 scale diecast cars, is done by this company. Most have removeable bonnets or opening hoods that reveal detailed engines. Each one comes in colorful box with inner plastic box and a pamphlet with informative information pertaining to the real car. Some of the early releases and larger vehicles did NOT include an inner plastic box - so in some cases I have listed it as "missing" when in reality, it may never have been issued with one. These are prior owned items, so boxes may show shelf wear.
