Everyone needs a Sonyuan in their lives even if its because its such a cheery sounding name! ;-p
Yet another obscure Chinese brand discovered thanks to the Temu online sales platform though I have also seen them on Ebay and Amazon believe it or not. As you can clearly see its a very low end product with very crude styling and no interior but its tiny price does run to a pullback motor and ebven rubber tyres!

When In first saw this casting I was hoping it was based on a Ford Granada MK2 but quickly realised its more Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL. A brand new product made by a company called Songyuan and part of a series of hilariously crude classic era based diecasts, all unlicensed but all clearly based on real vehicles. Its lack of interior hides a pullback motor though i'm not convinced such a flimsy model would stand many crashes into the skirting boards!
Definitely of limited appeal to most collectors but unusual and dare I say a little bit charming too.

If you've ever wondered what a Rolls Royce Phantom VIII looks like with a black vinyl roof then let Songyuan enlighten you! ;-p
Its the only modern vehicle they've included in their equally crude but diverse range of small scale pullback diecasts and which they brand as Classic Vintage Cars.
Rubber tyres are a surprising addition but clearly there is no pretence here that this is anything but a cheap disposable toy.

Another Rolls Royce in the Songyuan line up and despite it being based on the classic Silver Cloud it still looks hilariously crude and disfigured. There are virtually no cast in detailing at the front or rear, no interior and no painted detailing either yet somehow they've still managed to make it look recognisably a Rolls.

I'm hoping some of my American friends on here can help me out identifying this crude U.S. style Station Wagon as so far i've drawn a blank. All of the Songyuan products I have are based on real vehicles so theres no reason to suggest this is any different.
Rather clunky in its execution with a raised baseplate hiding a pullback motor giving it an almost SUV appearance!
