What this model is
Tomica Limited Vintage LV-183a Datsun Bluebird Patrol Car Metropolitan Police (65) is a die-cast model in the Tomica Limited Vintage (TLV) line, released in Japan on September 2019. It models a Datsun vehicle and falls into our police vehicle category.
The Limited Vintage line tomica Limited Vintage (TLV) is the 1/64 collector line for people who grew up with Tomica and now want museum-grade replicas. Every casting recreates a real Japanese car from the 1950s to the 1990s with period-correct details: separate indicators, accurate badges, era-correct colours and even licence plates. Regular Tomica fits in your pocket; TLV sits in a display case. Main-line models carry LV numbers with a letter suffix for colour variations (LV-01a, LV-01b…), and are sold mainly through hobby shops and Tomica shops rather than supermarkets. TLV has released more than two hundred castings since 2003; this database indexes the releases documented in the Tomica Wiki community database, including colour variations, rather than claiming to list every packaging variant.
