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 1971 Renault Alpine A110. This is one of those cars that makes collectiong such fun. It is the only Alpine A110 in my collection and quite rare. Windows are clear with a white interior and the black tires have painted wheel centers. Playart also produced 'in-house' diecast for Woolworths, McCrory and Sears stores.
