Notes
Metallic purple paint with a visible metallic green baseplate that also forms the front end. Yellow tinted windows, yellow interior. A central metal disc/button is visible between the rear wheels on the baseplate, characteristic of the 'Rolamatics' function, which causes an action (in this case, the engine fan on the top rear to rotate) when the car is rolled. Features black tires with chrome and black detailed wheels. Model shows minor play wear, and rear of baseplate might be slightly loose.
