TVTA is pleased to add its second catalogue to the Mebetoys category for die cast cars. This latest catalogue is from 1971 and was printed for the Italian market. The catalogue has some very cool stylised images of the models showing partial views of the car, as well as colour photographs of the range available at the time. The catalogue also includes an image for the Yogi Bear and Boo Boo car.
Thanks for looking! You can see our other Mebetoys catalogue here

I didn’t know I needed the Yogi Bear car until I saw your post.

That Runabout is very interesting, it really stands out in a retro-future sort of way. I could imagine people in the 60s saying everyone’s car would look like that in twenty years, and how perfect it would be for those journeys where the jetpack is impractical.
I also thought it nice to see circles around some of them. š

I love those retro-future designs too. And now look at everyone driving ugly SUVs and hatchbacks the size of a tank.
Yes, seeing catalogues with circles and ticks made by some excited kid gives them an extra charm I think.

Hi TVTA, I did own one of those Yogi and Boo Boo cars but it was beaten up and damaged before I got it because it came in that big cardboard box of toys I mentioned once before. I remember the sculpt on the two characters was really good though. I did later get the Tom and Jerry car set made by Corgi – Tom had a “Go-Kart” made from a steel dustbin and Jerry had a car with a cannon attached to the front! They looked like this:
I hope the picture link works, but thanks for sharing yours once more.

Yay, the pic showed fine. I remember you said you had these, really good sculpts and a lot of fun. I have the Jerry Banger which I picked up cheap on a flea market before the pandemic.

These are wonderful! Love how some of the ads someone has circled some of the cars, perhaps chasing what one’s to put on their Christmas list to Santa?! ThatYogi Bear and Boo Boo car is brilliant fun too!

Cheers, Paul. I too like the old catalogues where some kid has circled or ticked off the items – it shows that the catalogue was a useful reference back then. Yes, that Yogi and Boo Boo car is quite a treat to see š

Worst car I ever had was one of the tiny Fiats. Third or fourth hand, it was like driving a washing machine. š¤£

Lol at the washing machine comparison š My first was an already ancient Fiesta, which I actually loved as it was so reliable and nice to drive.
