BRAND = ZYLMEX
aka The Brand I Love to Hate
It's a mystery to me that anyone buys these, as the overall quality is abysmal.
Fit and finish are dreadful, paint jobs are sloppy, the decorations are mostly cheap paper labels, what's to like?
Yet I do, and have collected all the police models I could find and afford.
Prices depend on condition - most are in rough condition and sell for a buck or two. Clean unmarked copies cost ten bucks or so.
There is one model I have not been able to find at a price I am willing to pay.
It's
P3003, a Ford Mustang, and I have seen it for sale on eBay only once, at something like $150. Sheesh!

Price: ------- Markings: Highway Patrol ------- Notes: rear opens This is the rock bottom Zylmex police model. That paint job - yuck! I bought four copies before I got one with a rear door that opened properly. On the first it fell out, on the second it wobbled and stuck, and so on. Really lousy design. And those paper labels on the doors are a nightmare. None is on straight, the edges peel up, the printing is sloppy. This one was NIP, and look at it! |

Zylmex Mazda GT v1 P304
This is one of the trickier - and more expensive - models to find in decent condition.
I can see no significant difference between the two versions I own, except the model numbers - P304 on the base of the first one, P306 on the package of the second.
