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. An unique vehicle in the series is a 1968 Honda S800 Roadster. The black tires have silver mag wheels. This is not one of Playart's better castings as it is longer and sleeker than the real car. 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.
