At the top of our Volvo Amazon you will find a very special toy. It is a red Maserati 4CL by Domo from Turin in 1949.

This sheet metal racing car had everything from internal combustion engine with glow plug, remote control, fuel funnel to handle starter. The car was controlled with a cord and control which you can see hanging further down in the Volvo Amazon.

The reason it is so special is that it was one of the first cars using electronics to control the steering.

There are very few examples of the Maserati 4cl in the world, which makes it desirable among collectors and car enthusiasts. Just like with art, the value of the toys is about who makes the toy, where quality, how famous the toy is and how many copies there are determine a toy's value.

The car is worth about as much as a real car today.
