One can only imagine why and how Jiawei Toys thought it was a good idea to put a real life Evanston Police Force emblem on its models, especially one based on an Italian sports car! Totally laughable and that's not even describing this rather crude and without a doubt unlicensed casting.
Ironically its alloy effect wheels wouldn't look out of place on something costing a whole lot more, intricate and well designed, they are at total odds with the rest of this ungainly scrappily finished item. Naturally I love it! ;-p

Being one of the most expensive, fastest and exclusive cars on the planet doesn't save you from being replicated by various obscure Chinese toy makers. In fact it attracts them like a moth to a flame!
I have far more unlicensed unapproved Bugatti Veyrons in my collection than official ones and no doubt far more to come in the future. This rather smart but unlikely Police version is made by a company called Jiawei Toys and is part of a small range of chunky Siku sized vehicles. The styling couldn't be mistaken for anything else and although naturally a bit on the simple and crude side those wheels are just perfect and probably belong on something a bit more polished!

Erm....well its definitely based on a Mercedes-Benz but not one which springs to mind very easily. I've tentatively catalogued it as a modern C-Class Coupe but to be quite frank it could be absolutely any Merc Coupe such is its eagerness to avoid the licensors.
Made by Jiawei Toys it is chunky and fairly robust, even sporting a separate light bar on its roof though everything else is typical low end apart from its notably intricate alloy effect wheels. Its Police emblem is too small to identify but almost certainly it will be laughably inappropriate!

It seems that no car is too posh or exclusive to escape the Jiawei Toys Police treatment judging by their Aston Martin which I think is meant to be a One-77. With absolutely no regard for authenticity or official approval this rather chunky little diecast is for chasing criminals rather than chasing a monied lifestyle!
Nicely finished believe it or not, with a rather shimmering metallic white colour, painted features and smart alloy effect wheels.

This is where I definitely need some help in identifying the vehicle. Its shape looks familiar but is not the Lamborghini or Ferrari hypercars I was imagining so maybe belongs to some more obscure maker. Its highly unlikely to be generic as all the other Jiawei Toys products have been based on real life cars.
Its quite a dramatic looking thing, all dramatic swages and complicated body lines giving it a pseudo futuristic sci-fi appearance.
