A scarce item here, the VW1200 in German ADAC livery, only issued in Europe which is where I acquired this one.
It is similar to the more familiar 373 which came in white and black with a blue lamp with the silver base extended to provide nice bumpers front and rear.
The model itself is just a sad version of the original, of course, which had all sorts of nice features and this doesn’t even get jewelled lights.
There is a very obvious casting correction line running across the front which I am pretty sure Corgi would not have allowed to see the light of day in their better days.
This is in excellent good condition and all the stickers are clear and present which is quite rare nowadays. The paintwork is also very good, with only a few chips, mostly on the wheel arches. The windows are clean and clear and this has a pale beige interior which looks different. The wheels are good, with the chrome pattern still well-defined and not worn.
