Old metal Friction tin Toy. Made in Japan but do not know the maker. Looks like a *B* inside a *C*. Will dig some more. Not sure of car/or year of car style? Is it a vintage Jag?
As for date of toy made -- I am thinking maybe the toy is from the 1950's era but not sure.
Any info welcomed....Thanks
Cool.... I'd say it was a "Jag" as well :)
Thanks mikelv85 and fifties50s for the loves and the comments
@ fifties50s - Thanks for the name of the maker -- found this one (similar) black/silver bottom on it...but not sure if mine is a Jaguar or what.....LOL

Very nice Vintagerose ! I love it but barely know name of car I drive so to me it looks like a European car :-) A cool one at that !
Looks like a Bentley to me. Very cool.
Another 'nice' :) i love the underneath, unusual.
Hard to say without seeing the front, that's always the most important angle when trying to figure out the make.
That said it looks like a Bandai 1960's Sunbeam Coupe, about 5in long.
Nice find!
