 DESCRIPTION

This is one of the Kenner Fast 111 diecast produced in the early 1980's. These cars are not very collectible due to the way Kenner added a huge rear bumper to each model. They did this to feature a license plate for different US states on each car. Most of the models done are the same as those done by other manufacturers of the time. This BMW is a bit different. While the 320i was done by Tomica and Yatming, this is the only GT racing version I have ever seen. The wheels look like Yatming wheels. The interior is well done and actually looks like a BMW interior. The value on these curious Fast 111's is not high but they are fun and the license plates are unique.
