Notes
These Wiking/Cursor models are quite rare. They are in 1:40 scale and were exclusively made for Volkswagen in the 50s and 60s of the last century. They were give-aways for new car buyers (to please their little boys we assume). It is interesting to know that Wiking made these cars in the same colours the originals were, also they were pure promotional items for VW only and never available in the shops.
Those without windows are extremely rare and achieve high prices when available.
This VW Samba Bus model has a pleasing deep red & pale grey finish, grey seating & cream wheel, with window glazing.
High quality plastic construction model. 1:40 scale.
Mint condition.
