My 230SL model car
« on: December 26, 2020, 22:13:02 »
Seasons Greetings to All,

Santa was good to me this year. This is the best die cast model I have ever seen!

Scale is 1:18 and licensed by Daimler. Norev is the brand. A very high quality item.

It is great!

I have a business card somewhere of a guy I met on one of the classic shows in Warsaw who can personalize them and make it you car after a day of photo session.

Years ago I could do it myself, but mu sight has worsened...

Have not had a close look at the Norev model, but I have one each in 1:18 from Schuco and Anson. Thought they were pretty nice

Now I want one too.
It will serve the purpose. Instead of unswerving the questions about the body shell  and the several parts piles I’ll just point to the model.

I think it is the NOREV model.

Thanks!

It indeed (the base) looks similar to the one shown in the first post.
