Hi Woodsy,
Not sure if you ever came across pictures of the Topo Gigio Ice Cream Van. In case you didn't I've attached some shots of one I just picked up [above]. The box is dated 1967. I also got the camper from the same seller [pictures below].

They are smaller than I expected. The boxes measure approx 15 cm long. Overall the condition is pretty good but Topo Gigio's little friend is missing her left arm in both toys. The build quality isn't up to Sword standards.
I've taken a look at the bases. There is no makers mark but the following text is molded into the friction motor bulge: MADE IN HONG KONG, TOPO GIGIO © 1967, MARIA PEREGO.......cont.
The same seller also had the hot rod but it was missing the chrome engine and had no box [pictured below].I've taken a look at the bases. There is no makers mark but the following text is molded into the friction motor bulge: MADE IN HONG KONG, TOPO GIGIO © 1967, MARIA PEREGO.......cont.
Cheers,

PS. For the sake of completeness, I've posted a piccy of the Hot Rod box at the bottom [Vectis auctions]. Woodsy.
