The first Penny series (Politoys’ small-scale modelcars series) included a series of ’60 F1′s, a series of nicely detailed road cars on rubber tires and some Alfa Romeo vans and Lancia Esadelta trucks, all are made in metal and in scale 1/66. That series ran from 1965 until at least 1971 (in ’70 and ’71 only a few more versions of the Alfa van were released), and was numbered 0/1 to 0/205. An incomplete but nevertheless very interesting list of these can be found in Dr. Force’s and Paolo Rampini’s books.

In 1972 and 1973, a second series of cars was produced, numbered Y10 to Y121 (or J10 to J121)
