Something Missing?

"Serie Flash" were a series of F1 cars by Italian maker Barlux (aka Baravelli). They were of a very simple construction - a metal base that included the suspension, engine and a driver figure. And on top of that, a simple plastic body shell.

"Serie Flash" were a series of F1 cars by Italian maker Barlux (aka Baravelli). They were of a very simple construction - a metal base that included the suspension, engine and a driver figure. And on top of that, a simple plastic body shell. 

The blisters list 10 models:

73001 Matra MS 120

73002 Lotus 72 Ford

73003 BRM P136

73004 Tyrrell-Ford (003)

73005 Ferrari 312B2

73006 March-Ford

73007 McLaren-Ford (M7C)

73008 Brabham-Ford (BT33)

73009 Surtees-Ford

73010 Lotus Turbine

But, no one has ever found a 73005 Ferrari or a 73010 Lotus Turbine, so it stands to reason that these never reached production.

Early and late versions of these models can be distinguished by the wheels and stickers. Earlier ones had “Superfast” style wheels - the look being achieved by putting paper stickers over the black wheels. Earlier models also had slightly fancier paper stickers attached to the body. Later ones have plain black wheels, and a single round sticker at the front.

Production is thought to have ended around 1975.
