The Mercedes-Benz 280 hardtop - By SIKU

I totally forgot about this model, that 40 years ago I had one SIKU Mercedes 280, it occured to me, when I restored a cabrio by Lesney. I used to have one! So when I found it at a flea market, I bought it at once and I restored with the Matchbox cabrio. It's funny to analyse how differently made the two producers the same Mercedes. I like both of them.


The chassis was very shabby and the gears had to be changed for nicer wheels (made by Welly).


I painted it nice red - just like I did with the Matcbox model - and then came the details. The interior got a light blue colour.
