Hi Guys. Just got this as a Gift from my Girlfriend. The last Set Mantua made before Closing down. They made only 750 Sets. The Engine number is the first year Mantua was in Business. The other cars commemorate different events in Mantua history up to 2001.

That is a VERY nice set. I never knew it exisited. I like the old school look it has to it.

That's a neat set. I should've gotten one when they were available. Great addition to your collection.
