RAMI by J.M.K.: History and Key Facts

Rétrospectives Automobiles Miniatures (English: Automobile Miniatures in Retrospect, mostly known for its acronym RAMI) was a French manufacturing company that made diecast scale model collector vehicles mostly of classic French automobiles in 1:43 scale. The acronym was seen on packaging without the periods between the letters of the acronym, but on some of the vehicle bases with the punctuation. "J.M.K." was a further acronym that stood for the three founding members of the company: M. Jarry, Henri Malartre and M. Koch. Though the models were often known simply as RAMI, the full name of the company was RAMI by J.M.K.

The cars in the line-up represented actual vehicles in the Automobile Museum of the Château de Rochetaillée sur Saône. The models were made in Lure, France, from 1958 to 1969.
