This little wind-up car is in good condition. The handle on the winder is plastic and the light on top of the car is plastic. The body of the car is metal. I have not found a date on this item. It winds a little rough and the wheels wobble as thou the axle may be bent some. Even with the flaws, this is a very nice little car. Please check the photos for a good look.
