Need help Identifying These Cheaply Made Cars

Look closely all over inside, they may have a molder's stamp somewhere.

I don't know who made them, but a British company seems right. I had a 120 Jag fixed head coupe in the 70's, wish I still did.

Definitely NOT Plasticville.

The name "Renwal" comes to mind as a company that also made plastic autos in the 1950's but their name was usually molded into the plastic on the underside of the car.

gunrunnerJohn,

I looked again and only see the car model name and some single digit numbers.

I also looked at both sides of the wheels. There are some single digit numbers under the front and rear end. What is interesting; looking at two red Porsches one is numbered [1] at the front and [5] at the back while the other one is numbered [2] at the front and [6] at the back. 

Bill, You could be on to something; when I seared Renwal on the bay Ione listing had 2 of the models in the lot. however they didn't show the underside of those cars. Others did have a Renwal stamp as you said. They even had a model number.

Maybe this will help.  I stumbled upon this on eBay the other day...

Check out Gasoline Alley vintage toys on the web.  He sells all sorts of toys, but has an amazing selection of American and foreign cars in roughly O scale, made from plastic, rubber, tinplate, cast metal, and anything else you can imagine.  Also die cast, molded, slush molded, stamped, and pressed.

Have a ball.

It does look very similar. But it seems a bit on the large size at 8 ⅜" long.

It could well be from the same maker though.  

Good catch Nicole. I did not see that measurement. My Jag is 4 3/8".

Rod, Thanks for Gasoline Alley, I am wading through it now.

Its not Plasticville for sure. Renwal and ACME always marked their vehicles so that leaves them out. They could be Reliable, F&F, or MARX. Just because the car you have doesn't have metal axles, doesn't mean they were not swapped out at some point. Marx used the one piece plastic axles, and sometimes their mark is very difficult to find. More photos of the cars would help.

Also, when taking close up pictures, please refer to your camera manual and select the "macro" setting(usually the little "flower" icon) for accurate focusing. Most cameras can get down to two inches or closer with amazing detail used this way.
