HOT WHEELS FIAT 500e NO8 1/64

Confronted with an overstocks trolley full of Hot Wheels in a The Entertainer store I visited recently I momentarily forgot what I already had and picked up this grey Fiat 500e thinking it was the latest recolour. Once home I quickly realised it was actually from an earlier 2024 mix but surely one more to the collection won't hurt.
A repurposed original id casting which already seems a bit dated when you consider Fiat have already brought out a newer version but still rather cute in appearance and looking fairly contemporary in this pale grey colour.
Mint and boxed.
