First of all congrats for this great video, just a few comments for additional info. The Magirus Deutz car transporter (likely a 200D 16 FL model) is from mid to late 90's, given its star shaped wheels. (Note that "Guisval " is pronounced like "guitar" in spanish😉). This domestic toy brand is part of every spanish boomer childhood. Lack of QC and poor/random distribution are an issue, but we have to praise that it is the only european toy manufacturer which keeps its factory production in its homecountry, going strong for more than 60 years. Those Group C cars in plain colors without racing liveries are reissues from the early 00's, and their first edition versions in full racing gear were originally released in late 80's. The WRC cars shown were first released in the mid to late 00's, 'till today. They feature real life rally liveries, although the mentioned lack of QC makes it hard to find samples with decent tampos, most of the time you find blurred liveries, so lucky you, I cherry-picked them especially for the occasion. The blue 205 featured is an unlikely 4 door rally car from late 80's to early 90's, but it was common for Guisval to disguise its entire bread and butter street cars range with racing tampos, even family station wagons. Talking about curved bases, reasons may vary from poor factory riveting proccess to design needs (to fit the peg bases in the boxes). The blue Stratos belongs to what I consider the Golden Era of Guisval (1974 to 1985). Accurate, realistic models (some unique castings, all from the domestic market), metal bodies and chassis, moving parts, suspension and metallic factory colors. Talking about the orange 917 , some castings of this period (early to mid 70's) were simplified and crude compared to early 69-71 versions, to be cheaper to produce. The Porsche 911 represents kind of a jacked up version of the 911 Carrera RSR Turbo, and its lacking a metal piece (a dragster-type exposed engine, a lá F1 racing car.) Alpine and R5 were domestic FASA-Renault products manufactured by the spanish branch of Renault in spanish factories. Scarabeo and Fiat Abarth 2000 are samples of exotic prototypes of the 60', well represented by the early castings of Guisval (circa 1969). Tha last ones shown in the video are reissues of widely popular domestic homegrown subcompacts of the 70's (Renault 5, SEAT 127 and Ford Fiesta Mk I) and a compact beige Simca 1200 (spanish version of the Simca 1100, as mentioned by @theQuirkyGarage1999). Hope I can send you more Guisvals soon, my friend.

Yeah i .knew about the simca 1200 .( and the whole chrysler- simca situation ) as well as SEAT an FASA-Renault, i'm surprised that Guisval never did a Siete considering it's a spanish made car for it's own market 🤔 ( Michael if you're wondering what the hell is a "Siete" it's a Renault 5 sedan made in spain )

18:19 that beige car is a Simca 1100 this is one of 1st modern (after the Autobianchi Primula )compact car with FWD , transversal engine, Hatchback but everyone always talk about the Golf Mk1 🙄 but anyway, that car was briefly sold in the States , the simca 1100 was replaced by the simca/Talbot Horizon which was sold by plymouth and dodge. Also the 2 car on top are Ford Fiesta and Fiat 127 ( or maybe the SEAT Built/badged version)

Had the top 2 in your display when I was a kid in the early 80s. Top car is a SEAT 127. Never seen the reissues when I go to Spain, although I look. Bottom 3 are castings from the 2000s. They kept recycling castings for awhile. Currently own 2 1/43 scaled guisvals. Other Spanish diecast brands were Mira and Guiljoy

Hi all, when you come to Spain is much better go to the Bazaars shops, not in prime toy sellers , sometimes you can find on stations shops.
