Wiking Models 211 Volkswagen 1500

Notes

These Wiking 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 I 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.

In 1:40 scale. Promotional.

From a private collection in Croatia. The owner tells us:
“My late father got all of these from a closing dealership and most of them are in original packaging with all the bits accounted for”.

Finished in a distinctive shade of grey-blue with windows and driver, lights detail, ivory bumpers, VW logo and wheels. Mint condition. Presented in a complete card box denoting the correct colour at and end flap. Water staining/grubbiness.
