Tempa Tamper


I found this Mazda in a set I bought from Canada - it included 3 genuine colour trails (Cosmobile, Porsche 911 and Soopa Coopa). As you can see it only has the tempa on the headlight covers but under close inspection you can see the very light imprint on the paint of the full tempa design. However I have heard that these are very hard to remove so??? Anyway, it has purple glass, so it's rare anyway!

Now that is interesting- I thought the use of Tampo (Tempra?) printing for headlamp detail was a new thing. This model dates from , what?, 72/73?

Yeah, I can't really make it out - it has purple windows so it quite an early crossover from the orange version - I expect it's more like 75-76. I have a few more like this that I will post later, all from the same lot.
