#634 Maisto – Trabant 601 “Trabi” (Around 1996)

This is a rare die-cast model of a really iconic High German motorcar made inwards the DDR. The shape was kickoff made yesteryear MC Toy in addition to subsequently reused yesteryear Maisto. Unfortunately, I solely accept the Maisto version, If I detect the MC Toy version I volition telephone commutation them.

Since MC Toy/Maisto is a companionship from Hong-Kong it is a foreign pick for a cast. Maybe they manufactured the motorcar equally a asking from a High German retailer, to locomote sold equally a souvenir inwards Deutschland (it is available most everywhere there, from tourist shops to airports).

Although the existent motorcar was made from 1964 to 1990, this scale reproduction is relatively recent. There are older toys of the Trabant dating from the communist era of the DDR. These are quite sought-after demo yesteryear High German toy collectors. Maisto model is really common, in addition to hence worthless equally a collectable. The involvement lies inwards the motorcar model, which is an iconic motorcar of the 60s, comparable to the Austin Mini/ Mini Morris inwards England, the Fiat 500 inwards Italy, the VW Beetle inwards Deutschland (FDR), the Seat 600 inwards Espana or the Citroen 2CV inwards France.
