This is an 8 inch long Maileg Couch Car that is very rare. The only info I could obtain is from the Maileg website regarding the Formland Design awards from 1999. It shows a “couch car” similar to this one but the picture is in black and white. It says they won the prize for the Couch Car Series so I assume he is one of the series.

The condition is well played with. The man needs to be re-glued back in his seat (though he isn’t coming out) and there are many scuffs, and discolorations all over the car and man, including a dark scuff, scratch and discoloration on the racer’s head and a scratch in his hair. Please check out the pictures. It’s still very functional, wheels roll and there is no serious damage to the car. The car is wooden and the man is plastic.
