Schuco
02362 Mercedes-Benz 170V “Limousine” (German for sedan). In cream and red.
Die Cast (metal), 1/43 scale.. Model is new stock, received from the manufacturer.
LAST ONE IN MY INVENTORY
RARE. Retails for over $40.00
Great details, very accurate, featured photoetched parts, next level of detalization compare to model of the same car by Vitesse.
The new owner, of a US branch of a company group that Schuco is a part of, DOESN'T CARE SCHUCO MODELS ANY LONGER. Currently there no Schuco models representative on the US Market.
This gorgeous model is a must for a Mercedes collector. Schuco is much more accurate and detailed model compare to a model of this car from any series of Vitesse group, (Vitesse, City, Victoria, A Model) and Sun Star that is the actual maker and cast owner. You will not be disappointed.
Schuco is very old, famous, German Company that has an established name among collectors all over the world. They were a leader in die cast car models back in ‘70s. Recently they reestablished line of die cast models, and as you are about to see, they are doing a great job. Two lines of models in 1/43 scale are available. Economy -Schuco Jr line - is inexpensive, but decent quality models; and Gorgeous - Edition 1:43 in 5 Collections: Classics, Contemporary, Motorsport, Historic Delivery Trucks and Tractors, comprises an enormous variety of highly detailed models reflecting important periods of German automobile production.
Schuco models are great addition to any serious collections. Models are accurate, with an attention to small details, rubber tires on authentic rims, in variety of colors (each color issue has the individual catalog number). Came in acrylic display case with black base that has a car name and model printed on It.
This is a match to Minichamps quality with a great name stands behind It.
There are not many dealers that care Schuco models. I still have almost all models from Jr line and from all 5 Collections of Edition 1/43 (Collector Edition).
