Volkswagen 8-Seater Minibus by Wiking Models. Scarce PROMOTIONAL model in two-tone grey. in PINK & WHITE Promotional box. Mint/boxed. From The Hastings Collection.
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 8-Seater Minibus model has a pleasing two-tone grey finish, grey seating, pale grey wheels, driver. VW emblem, window glazing.
High quality plastic construction model. 1:40 scale.
A superb example in mint condition.
Pink and white promotional box with charming illustrations is very close to old shop stock quality.
