Hot Wheels 'Mars Rover' / 'Science Rover' Die-cast Vehicle

This is a vintage Hot Wheels die-cast toy vehicle, specifically the Mars Rover (or Science Rover) casting originally introduced in the late 1980s. The toy features a metallic blue die-cast metal body with silver/grey plastic base highlights. A defining characteristic is the bright yellow molded plastic interior that represents a six-seat configuration in an open back bed. The cockpit features orange translucent plastic glazing for the windows. The vehicle sits on four oversized off-road wheels with chrome-finished 5-spoke hubcaps and knobby rubber-like plastic tires. Structurally, the vehicle is built in a 1:64 scale. Notable markings usually found on the underside include the Hot Wheels logo, 'Mattel Inc.', and the country of manufacture (commonly Malaysia). The condition appears well-preserved with minimal paint chipping on the high ridges, though there is slight dust accumulation in the crevices of the yellow seating area. The chrome on the wheels shows minor signs of friction wear but remains largely reflective. This specific color scheme and wheel type suggest a production date from the early to mid-1990s.
