Minic produced several variants of the RM from 1961-70 as part of
their Motorways line. Primarily plastic, these models tend to suffer from
warpage and it's very rare to find one that hasn't. |

 This very rare Tri-Ang Minic M228 "Push and Go" model shares the same decals as it's Minic Motorways cousin. |
