This lot comprises three boxed die-cast model cars including examples by the Italian manufacturer Bburago. The collection features a Bugatti EB 110 (1991) finished in blue with gold tone multi-spoke wheels, presented in a black and gold window box with printed text reading Bburago and cod. 3035. Also included is a Dodge Viper RT/10 (1992) in red from the Bburago Diamonds series, featuring an open-top body and three-spoke silver wheels; the packaging displays printed text for the maker and licensing information from the Chrysler Corporation. The final item is a Porsche 959 style model in silver, housed in a festive red and white striped window box decorated with a gold leaf motif. Each vehicle is constructed from die-cast metal with plastic interior and trim components, typically featuring functional steering and opening doors or lids as standard for these 1990s era series.
