This is the partner for the Pinto Sportsman and it is presented in a very off putting bogey green. The thing you notice with the early Speedtrack cars is they are woefully short on investment. Given Matchbox' roots on detail and authenticity, the Gremlim is a particularly nasty example. The moulded in colour has not aged well and my example is almost transparent...
The Gremlin certainly handles though, fit the 12V chassis with magnet and off it blasts - while this is the case of most Powertrack cars with the Plus Chassis the Gremlin at least looks like it means business, with none of the 'bustle' you get with some full bodied cars like the Escort and Fiat Abarth.
The Sportsman cars are fairly limited, having a shelf life of about 18 months. Good examples should fetch excellent money on ebay.
