RIO 1:43 diecast Cars from Italy

OUT OF PRODUCTION.  company is no longer in business.
some of the finest detailing on 1:43 scale diecast cars, is done by this company.  Most have removeable bonnets or opening hoods that reveal detailed engines.  Each one comes in colorful box with inner plastic box and a pamphlet with informative information pertaining to the real car.  Some of the early releases and larger vehicles did NOT include an inner plastic box - so in some cases I have listed it as "missing" when in reality, it may never have been issued with one.  These are prior owned items, so boxes may show shelf wear.
