Dinky 163, is a 1600 TL Fastback from the late 60's. 
Red with opening hood, doors, and trunk.  In the trunk
is a clear engine lid, and a chrome engine with some
detail. It is the nicest 1:43 I own. It also has nice
jewel headlights, and the nicest pressed metal wheels
compared to my Marklin blue squareback or the Vistesse
Notch with ragtop (these are OK, with body color rims
and plastic chrome hubcaps with vw logo), or the
plastic norev fastback (which has pretty warped
plastic body).  I also have a Scala Squareback that
has Matchbox type 'superfast' wheels but is 1:43 scale
(as all of these are). 

I do not have a minichamps, since they are available
retail.  I have tried to stay with the older cars.  I
suppose I should, as someday they will be also.  I
would like to see them do a 1:18 Fastback.  That might
convince me to buy in.  That notch sure looks nice!
