Yeah Lew, quite a few of these are Super Kings. There's just something about them thats very appealing. The chunkiness and the colours maybe? They seemed to have survived the rigours of play and time as well and turn up regularly in charity shops and car boot sales.
Never knew about the pink Mercury Cougar labeled Dina Mite. I have the greenish Rat Rod version. Oddly enough I've seen the green with the Wild Cat stickers as well which were for the Ford Mustang model.
Dino Mite - that was a Matchbox King wasn't it? I had that!
