Premiere Collection : World Class

1989 saw the release of a highly detailed collectable range of cars based on some of the current miniature series.  These models had more detailed tampo along with more realistic rubber tyres.

The range continued for some years although in 1996 the series received  a slight name change from the original World Class Series to the Premiere Collection World Class Series. Series I – 1989
