Hot Wheels 1966 Triumph Tiger 100 Motorcycle (Treasure Hunt)

This item is a Hot Wheels collectible die-cast motorcycle, specifically models the '1966 Triumph Tiger 100'. It is presented in its original, unopened blister packaging. The motorcycle itself features a metallic green finish with a gold-colored rider figure in a racing pose. Notable details include the number '66' enclosed in a white circle with a gold border on the side fairings/body of the motorcycle. The wheels appear to be multi-spoke design with black tires. The card art on the packaging features a dynamic blue background with a white stripe, showcasing an illustration of the same motorcycle and rider. The Hot Wheels logo is prominent at the top. Key markings visible on the card include '235/250', indicating its number in a larger series, and '5/5 MOTO', suggesting it is the fifth motorcycle in a sub-series. The Mattel logo is present in the bottom left corner of the blister card. The words 'GUARANTEED FOR LIFE' are printed on a blue tab at the top of the card. A crucial hidden detail, confirmed by the 'Additional context provided: Hot wheels treasure hunt', is that this particular model is identified as a 'Treasure Hunt' or 'Super Treasure Hunt' due to its exclusive paint scheme (metallic green) and rubber tires (though tire details are not perfectly clear in the image, these are common indicators of a chase variant). The overall condition appears to be pristine, as it remains factory sealed in its packaging, with no visible signs of wear, dents, or tears on the card or blister. The estimated age is recent, likely within the past few years, as indicated by the modern Hot Wheels packaging design and numbering convention.
