    Some "custom order" TE71 Corolla Levins, commisioned by Ikeda I believe. There are 2 variants, featuring either a unique coat of red or white paint with black stripe, and of course, 1K racing wheels, which you gotta admit look great!

    Sadly as a side effect the car doesn't roll so well (ride height is low so wheels rub on the body), but the aggresive and sporty stance more than make up for that imo (combined with the fact these are either displayed static or in my palm )

    Would love to make a custom like these one day out of my many beaten up 71 levins, might try to raise the ride height slightly so the 1K wheels can roll freely

        Not quite, these came like this from the Tomica factory (and are rivited together), but companies like Ikeda and II Ado would commision "custom order" models, which they would have Tomica make a run of models for them with unique colour schemes, wheels ect at the request of these companies.

        In some cases, these companies would even make special parts that Tomica would apply to their models (such as Watanabe style wheels, and a stripped out race interior piece for R32, R33 and R34 Skyline GT-Rs)
