#628 Mc Toy – Several Volkswagen Models (1987 In Addition To 1990)

Volkswagen models are ever valuable collectables, I bring met people who collected exclusively VW Beetle miniatures, as well as around other guy who collected exclusively VW Golf miniatures. To around extent, the Golf volition live the Beetle for newer generations. Since the Golf has been available since 1974, it is already amidst the best selling cars of all times.

Volkswagen 1302 (Ref. 8731) - The classic "Bug" inward nighttime blue. It is 1 of the most sought-after model yesteryear MC Toys, merely non really interesting inward my opinion, since around every die-cast manufacturer had this model inward their catalogues.

Volkswagen Baja Beetle (VW) (Reference Unknown) - One of the best models yesteryear MC Toys inward my opinion. Those wheels were rarely used yesteryear the brand, as well as it has a really overnice suspension, it is a lot of fun to play amongst it over rugged surfaces. The automobile has a fake as well as chromed motor behind amongst a really long exhaust pipe, which is sometimes broken, since it is made of plastic. The automobile was origianlly released inward yellowish amongst tampographies inward cherry as well as black, merely the automobile was likewise availabe inward other colours (not certain hither if other versions were released every bit MC Toy or Maisto).

VW Caravelle or VW NR1060 (Ref. 9007) - One of the most used casts yesteryear MC Toy as well as afterwards yesteryear Maisto. This van was redecorated as well as released inward many colours, as well as this makes the model 1 of the less interesting ones inward the whole range. In this instance it´s painted cherry as well as decorated amongst Fire Brigade tampographies.

The exclusively Volkswagen missing inward this entry is the Golf GTI from 1984 (Ref. 8446), merely I don´t bring it hither correct now. The most mutual ornament is dark amongst white or golden tampographies. The kind was reused yesteryear Sohbi, as well as you lot tin construct yourself an idea, how would this model inward dark await like: see entry #536.

#715 Guisval - Several Replica Juniors Models (Around 1988)

It seems that the Replica serial (see #81 together with #82) was a nifty success for Guisval. Only a few years later the issue of the master copy series, a "junior" serial was released. These were likewise classic cars from the 1930s or earlier, alone inwards three inches size. These were, of course, cheaper.

  

In the 80s, the Models of Yesteryear were a nifty success worldwide, together with about of them gained high value inwards alone a few years. Many collectors wanted these, I intend because the models represented were those that they had known together with seen inwards the onetime days... currently, well-nigh of these models are extremely cheap, together with tin live on bought for five Euro or less, about fifty-fifty boxed. I recommend the article from Der Spiegel (in German) which is related to collecting die-cast miniatures

  

No thing what, Guisval produced these models hither yesteryear the halt of the 90s, when the involvement for these type of toys was at its highest.The Replica Junior serial were truly ii dissimilar ones, a Replica Junior serial alongside cars alone together with a Replica Junior Transporters, alongside vans, trucks together with buses. I introduce four of each subseries, it is tardily to decide which 1 is which. For the master copy 1:43 serial no “transport” vehicles were made.

The models I convey constitute over the years are:

  

COLECCIÓN REPLICA JUNIOR:

• Packard 1930 (yellow model)

#749 Guisval – Fanal/ Display Colección Campeón Together With Servicios Públicos (Around 1990)

 

These are 2 displays from the rattling early on 90s past times Guisval, every bit the cars were withal made inwards Spain. I accept talked nearly these display items many times over the entries dedicated to Guisval, exactly these are the starting fourth dimension I genuinely buy. I got them through a friend who saw them inwards a shop. For that year, the models included are quite old-fashioned, in addition to include casts that were already used inwards the early on 80s.

 

 

The starting fourth dimension of the 2 is a "campeón" collection, that is the 3 inches, ordinary collection past times Guisval. It contains 24 cars, inwards plastic blisters, many of them are double, triple or fifty-fifty cuadruple. Note that interestingly, the bottom 3 come upward inwards slightly bigger blisters, because they are bigger models (vans in addition to pick-ups). The xanthous display should accept some cardboard ornamentation on both upper sides, exactly they are lost, or perhaps removed if the cars were originally placed inwards some other display in addition to the pic did non gibe the cars anymore.

 

The cars from these years endure from metal-fatigue or zamak pest in addition to sometimes are constitute broken, fifty-fifty if mint inwards box. This is the illustration of the option upward at the bottom, middle column or the minute automobile inwards the middle column (a golden Seat Ronda).

 

All cars come upward amongst rally stickers, in addition to amongst either four spoke wheels or 8 signal wheels, which are 2 of the latest bike models used past times Guisval.

 

The models are (by row in addition to column)

• Opel Kadett (Vauxhall Astra) - Matra Simca Bagheera - Ford Sierra
• Porsche 928 - Seat Ronda - Matra Simca Bagheera
• Matra Simca Bagueera - Renault xi - Peugeot 205
• BMW 323i - Renault 21 Nevada - Citroën BX
• Opel Corsa - Ford Sierra - Seat Ronda
• Seat Ronda - Mercedes 190 - BMW 323i
• Ford Sierra - Opel Kadett - Ford Sierra
• Renault Espace - Toyota Hilux - Renault Espace

The minute display has a bunch of trucks (either Volvo or Magirus Deutz) together amongst ane Jeep Willis, ane Land Rover, several pickups (Toyota Hilux in addition to Datsun), 2 Renault Espace in addition to a camper van. I dearest this set, because most of these vehicles came amongst plastic accesories similar canopies, tow hooks, or structure items in addition to these are unremarkably lost inwards played toys. It is diffcult to larn some of them complete.

 

 

 

Here, the bike mixture is to a greater extent than complex, because nosotros honor the 4-spoke bike in addition to the typical “truck wheel” (small circle surrounded past times v points in addition to large circle), together amongst the classic bike used inwards the Jeep Willis.

#792 Siku – Volkswagen Kastenwagen (Transporter Iii) As Well As Mercedes 208 (Ref. 1331 As Well As 1918) (1981)

These 2 bulky vans are an illustration of typical vans from the early on 80s, real rectangular, huge charge capacity as well as non real beautiful. Siku made these 2 models, which are both from German linguistic communication manufacturers.

H5N1 van is a toy that is normally real versatile, since it tin live used inward several decorations or alongside slight modifications to hold back real dissimilar from each other. Vans tin besides live used every bit promotional toys, merely past times printing the logo as well as the refer of a fellowship on ane side (as it truly happened alongside these models), as well as children dear opening the raise doors as well as looking inside, or putting to a greater extent than or less pocket-size especial inside.

The 2 models presented today are inward vey skillful condition.
