As of January 2004, the Hondacurator Collection had the following 1983 Honda City Turbo by Tomica:
Tomica released the Honda City originally while they still had the yellow and black boxes under No.54. The City first appeared in the Tomica lineup as the regular City, albeit short-lived with supposedly just 6-months on the market before it was superceded by the City Turbo. then eventually the Turbo II. The interior includes a casted Motocompo – a motorized scooter that was an option. With much of casting similar to that of the original City, it’s not surprising, Tomica simply reused the number and was ok with the short lifespan of the original City.
