Rare Vintage Lemy Poliumex Tow Truck GRUA VW Tin Toy Volkswagen Car Tippco
These were made by Poliumex in Mexico after acquiring the original metal dies from the German Tippco / Tipp & Co buses back in the 1960's. They are good quality and look very cool. This particular piece is the " GRUA " or tow truck No. The back wheels have and bend so they don't allow the car to run when you rev up the friction mechanism - I don't want to brake them trying to straighten them out, so I'll leave it as is. The bend in the wheels also give the car a bit of a wobble.
One of the back rims has a break (see image #8). There are few minor scratches, some paint loss on white arm and some chrome loss on the front bumper. Included is the original box, but it does have a tear. I noticed that the green color looks a bit light in the pictures than it does in person. Image #12 is closer to the true color in person.
