Hello!
Somebody owns a Horikawa (Japan) mystery action Beetle? From Catalogue 1977, there was 3 models (danefield.com) but none you can find in internet. My is Fire Chief and despite this relatively "new" model can't be found anywhere.

It would be helpful if you posted a photo, or described unique markings or features.

At the moment I'm in Thailand, will be back soon...I live here so once I go back Italy I'm working all day and have no time for internet. I will take a picture and publish in january when I'm back here and I have more time...
For the moment you can look this link: http://danefield.com/alpha/forums/topic/18787-horikawa-catalog-1977/
There is only one in google, the Police version. May you know why only so few pieces are around? Thanks

You see mine in Bing, put Horikawa Maggiolino and select images

Here we are:



Question remains: How many was made? See only one Police version in google. Absolutely rare I think...?

Here's a picture of mine.

Aside from the photo there's not much more I can add, except to say it's an uncommon model.

Exactly!! We are lucky I think, continue looking but cannot find...
Thanks

@ TinTom

I have never seen the Horikawa Fire Chief before. But I have the Police and the Polizei in my collection.





If you want to sell the Fire Chief, I would be interested. :)
