Summary
A set of ten ‘Hot Wheels’ toy cars in their original box. Each car has a metal chassis with plastic wheels, but although most of the cars are entirely painted metal, some also have parts of the bodywork made of plastic and a couple are almost entirely plastic. The (unopened) box is made from colour-printed cardboard with a clear plastic window in the front. On the front are the Hot Wheels logo; 'Hot Wheels' in yellow on a red, flame-shaped banner, and 'Hot Wheels 10'. On the back is copyright information and images of four other cars, which have perforations for detaching and adding to a collection. The cars sit in the separate compartments of a clear plastic, moulded insert.
