Talbot Lago Appraisal

Hot Wheels Pearl Driver Series Talbot Lago

This item is a Hot Wheels die-cast toy car, specifically the 'Talbot Lago' model from the 'Pearl Driver Series'. It is presented in its original, unopened blister packaging. The packaging features a vibrant blue card with the classic Hot Wheels logo in red and yellow flames, a graphic of a driving sports car with smoke, and text indicating 'Authentic styling', 'FOR AGES OVER 3 YEARS', and 'DIE CAST METAL PARTS'. Below the car graphic, the series name 'PEARL DRIVER SERIES™' is displayed prominently, along with 'TALBOT LAGO' and '#1 of 4 CARS', suggesting it is the first model in a collectible set of four. The car itself is a sleek, streamlined coupé, rendered in a pearlized dark blue or purplish-blue finish, characteristic of the 'Pearl Driver Series'. It features what appear to be silver five-spoke wheels with black tires. The vehicle design evokes a classic, possibly vintage, sports car aesthetic. The blister pack is clear plastic, molded to perfectly encase the car, ensuring it remains in mint condition. The overall condition of the packaging appears very good for its age, with minimal visible wear, although there might be slight corner dings or minor shelf wear typical of older blister cards. A five-digit number '13282' is printed in the lower right corner of the card, likely a product or assortment number. This item represents a collectible piece of Hot Wheels memorabilia, appealing to enthusiasts and collectors of vintage die-cast toys and model cars.
