"Jean" soft plastic models series 3
These models are very much similar to the Jean models, but are probably made by another company. So far I've only run into 3 different models of this series

These soft "Jean" models are almost identical to the hard plastic model, though the number of different models is smaller. The most common (series 1 ) consisted of the 3 trucks (Tempo, Renault and Mandschaftwagen) and the 3 open models (Fairlane, VW Capriolet and Mercedes 300 SL). They are relatively easy to find, and it seems not really a collector's item.

Series 2 is molded in a different type of plastic; slightly harder and the moldings very close to the hard plastic series. One difference is that the wheel type is bigger and the axles have a slightly bigger diameter. Here is also 6 different models (Jaguar, Fiat Sport, Mercedes 300 SL, MG, Austin Healey and Porsche) . Interesting that in this series the colors black and silver are pretty common.

A post car series were made consisting go 6 different models. All yellow.

A more rare type, which is probably not Jean and slightly smaller, combusted of at least 3 different models - probably more. On the site 3 different models are shown: VW Capriolet, Citroen DS and Mercedes 220. The type of soft plastic is quite hard, but not breakable.

It seems the the moldings of hard plastic series 4 was either licensed of stolen to South America and soft plastic item cars can be found of at least Karmann Ghia, Mercedes 220 and VW. Probably the whole series was produced.
