MERCEDES 208 SIKU '80 Green 1:43 Made in West Germany

The green Mercedes 208 diecast model with orange and black details is an example of 1980s design. The metal casting forms a solid body, combined with a plastic chassis to create a durable yet lightweight model. The fitted crane with a rotating arm and metal hook, together with the textured loading platform, adds realism and functionality. Movable axles allow for different wheel positions, while the paint shows signs of use: light scuffs, minor dirt and patina that emphasise the age and character of the collection. The underside is embossed with the MERCEDES logo, the SIKU mark and MADE IN W-GERMANY, confirming its origin and authenticity. The model has a harmonious appearance, with careful attention to the proportions and the details of the crane and platform, making it an attractive part of a collection of period diecast models.

Used, collectible diecast model; after restoration it is like new (without a box, unless a box is shown in the photos). We restore models with 3D-printed replacements for missing parts and special paints made for restoring model cars. If the model shows signs of use, it has been intentionally left partly unrestored to keep its individual vintage character. The photos show the actual condition of the model.

The date given in the title or description is not always the date the casting was made. It may refer to the design of the model, the first casting series or the production of the real car. We give the dates the manufacturer states on the base. If in doubt, check all information against the photo of the base of the model.
