2010 Model Catalogue www.sunstartoys.com Sun Star has had another successful year in 2009, espe- cially our top of the range 1:12 scale VW Beetle which was a wow to the market. We will continue to create perfection in our 2010 range with the new Morris Mini and Austin Se7en. We also look forward to the VW Samba 2 - a follow-up to the successful launch of T1 Type 2 Samba which was immediately sold out during its release and was voted as “the Miniature Car of the Year” in 2009. In our Platinum Collection, we proudly present our new 1959 Pontiac Bonneville and Oldsmobile. In our WRC range, we are pleased to announce the launch of the new model Opel Ascona 400 rally. 02 Under our Vitesse brand, the ‘Back to the Future’ series are back! Watch out for the Green Hornet’s ‘Black Beauty’. Also watch out for our Sun Star supplement cata- logues featuring all the new large scale models which include the 1:24 scale RT buses, Bedford OB coaches; Morris Mini, Volkswagen Beetle and Samba.

Die-Cast Collectibles Catalogue 2010 1/12 LIMITED EDITION Sun Star - Create for Miniature. 1959 MORRIS MINI MINOR SALOON Old English White 5301 04 Morris Mini Minor Limited Edition 621 AOK was the first Mini to be manufactured. The production register shows that Chassis No. MA2S4-101 was a De Luxe Morris assembled over Easter weekend in 1959. Because full production had not started, all components were not yet available from stock which explains why it did not have the correct wheels and other De Luxe features such as chromed trim on the surround of the windscreen and rear window, or on the wheel arches and sills. The model authentically replicates the original 1959 Morris-style seats and interior,“frying-pan” air filter, and chassis with no drain-holes and large floorpans. Die-Cast Collectibles Catalogue 2010 1/12 1960 AUSTIN SE7EN DE LUXE Tartan Red 5302 Austin Se7en De Luxe Limited Edition The key external features of this model are the chromed inserts in the surrounds of the windscreen and rear window, and chromed trim to the rear side windows, sills and wheel arches. It also has the original 1960 “snoop-nosed” air filter, the later chassis with smaller floor pans and drain holes, and the original Austin De Luxe interior, seats and wheel trims. 05 FEATURES • Super-detailed 1:12 scale • Tilting front seats • Opening front side windows • Removable spare wheel • Removable tool kits • Independent suspension • Functioning door handles and boot handle • Detailed engine with separate HT leads, fan belt, alternator, starter motor etc • Removable hub cabs • All four wheels can be changed by unscrewing the 4 nuts • Positional windscreeen wipers • movable sun visors • working steering Die-Cast Collectibles Catalogue 2010 1/12 LIMITED EDITION Sun Star - Create for Miniature. 1949 VOLKSWAGEN KAFER: CABRIOLET Red / Black 5211 Limited Edition 3000pcs 06 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1953 VOLKSWAGEN KAFER: CABRIOLET Metallic Beige 5212 Limited Edition 2000pcs Die-Cast Collectibles Catalogue 2010 1/12 1950 VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE SALOON Perigrau with Opening Roof 5202 Limited Edition 2000pcs --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 07 1953 VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE SALOON Maroon 5203 Limited Edition 2000pcs Die-Cast Collectibles Catalogue 2010 1/12 LIMITED EDITION Sun Star - Create for Miniature. 1956 VOLKSWAGEN SAMBA Limited Edition 1500pcs Chestnut Brown / Sealing Wax Red 5073 08 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1957 VOLKSWAGEN MINIBUS Palm Green / Sand Green 5076 Limited Edition 1000pcs Die-Cast Collectibles Catalogue 2010 1/12 1962 VOLKSWAGEN KOMBI Limited Edition 1500pcs PanAM 5063 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1956 VOLKSWAGEN FIRE ENGINE Kastenwagen 5081 09 Limited Edition 1000pcs -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1969 VOLKSWAGEN KOMBI "LIGHT" Woodstock Bus 5062 Limited Edition 3000pcs Die-Cast Collectibles Catalogue 2010 1/12 LIMITED EDITION Sun Star - Create for Miniature.
