REALTOY CHEVROLET P30 MOBILE FOOD VAN NO3 HOT WHEELS COPY 1/64

Whilst historically most of Realtoys "copied castings" have largely centred around Tomica and Welly they were also an early adopter of taking inspiration from Hot Wheels.
Their cute looking Mobile Food Van is clearly copied from the HW Good Humor casting though Welly also made their own version so technically this could actually be a copy of that too.
Brightly coloured with intricate livery its immediate appeal is obvious and a good indicator of the huge success this company was experiencing at the time.
Part of a three vehicle Chad Valley set found recently on Ebay.
Mint and boxed.
