Very good vintage condition. The body presents beautifully with rich maroon finish and excellent chrome detailing on wheels, bumpers, and grille. There is minor paint roughness on the left side of the hood — this is a factory-origin characteristic, not damage from use or storage.
The original box shows light surface scuffing and age-related patina consistent with nearly 30 years of storage.
All included items are original and intact.

■ ABOUT ICHIKO
Ichiko Corporation (一晃工業, later 株式会社一晃) was one of Japan's most celebrated tin toy manufacturers, founded in the postwar era and active until 2000. Their "Classic Dream Collector Edition" series, released in the late 1990s, revisited iconic Japanese automobiles as high-quality limited tin collectibles — complete with numbered certificates and collector packaging. These pieces were produced in limited quantities and are increasingly difficult to find complete with original documentation.
