DESCRIPTION The Playart vehicles produced in the 1970's and 1980's, also known as Fast Wheels, are some of most interesting diecast to come out of Hong Kong. Difficult to find today, they are inexpensive and often offer examples of small-scale cars done by no other company. Number 1017 in the series is a BMW 2002, the only example of this car in my collection. Windows are clear with a black interior and the black tires have painted silver mag wheels. The doors open. Playart also produced 'in-house' diecast for Woolworths, McCrory and Sears stores. For a full story on Playart, visit the 'Tales of Toy Cars' Webzine.
