Matsushiro RadioTron Knight Rider & A-team van
I'm pleased that I recently acquired these two, to some they'll just be rubbish toys, but to me they are classics :) The Knight Rider KITT was a birthday present from my parents some 32 years ago, I wanted it for what seemed like forever when I was young, it was my first REAL r/c car with proper controls, suspension and lights. The original is obviously long gone now, but this is a near mint replacement ;) The A-Team van is also in great condition, although I never had this model back in the day it's a great addition. Both are from 1982/3 so to have them boxed with polystyrene inserts, instructions and even plastic bags inside is quite something. I seem to remember that they did a Miami Vice Ferrari, and a Winch truck, gonna have to look for those now!

It's all about the memories. I love the fact to you they are a childhood incarnate to many they are just toys. Awesome. My Mercedes SLC450 is exactly the same.

They do look great, toys or not, they are the memory makers we all love. I wonder if that Winch truck??? would be for the show Simon and Simon?? I hadn't heard of 'Winch' before now. Seems fitting the Miami Vice group would fit right in there with these two.
I really liked a show called 'RIPTIDE', but never had any toys that came from it as I guess it wasn't overly popular. I do remember the bright orange robot that the 'geek' built because the other two 'cool guys' had a pink helicoptor, nice yacht and probably a nice car too, cause all geeks did back then was wear glasses and not get the girls, oh my has time changed, Leonard got Penny.

Nice finds! I think my brother has the Knightrider somewhere, and I have the Miami Vice white Ferrari, I'll try and get some pictures up!

Thanks again for all comments. @Lupogtiboy The white Ferrari Testerossa is class, defo after that now @ Crash, never heard of Riptide, we probably didn't get it in the UK. Glad these brought some memories back!

Wow...great scores! I've seen several versions of the KITT car but not the A-team van. Really cool. I've been a huge fan since I was a kid. Love it!
