This really is a finely modelled car. The detail really is very well done and the boot and bonnet both fit beautifully. From a packaging point of view it came with luggage and a spare wheel, with the added realism of the spare wheel being visible from below. You also get an engine cover in the rear compartment, just like the real one - great for cooking your luggage I guess. There is also luggage detail formed into the interior inside the rear window.
Its a shame this one is so rough - I will have to replace it someday
Now pay attention for a little VW anorakage. This is the 1500 Karmann Ghia. The model in the Dinky range was just Karmann Ghia. This one was based on the Type3 Volkswagen, the 1500.and was know as the big (grosse) Karmann Ghia. It was produced from 1961 to 1969. The One Dinky made was based on the Type1 VW or Beetle. It was produced from 1954 to 1974 when the Sirocco came out.
