Very envious of the KDF Wagen...........I find b*gger all at shows. There's not many of them left as apparently a lot have disintigrated due to metal fatigue I think if it was on sale at the usual VW show's it would cost a lot more than I paid for it . Derfinately, I might be speaking out of turn here but usually old VW models are simply described as 'Volkswagen 1200' of something similar, it was called a KDF Wagen during the Nazi era so it's quite possibly pre 1945. Like I say I might be off the mark there but having owned a fair few VW models from the 50's & 60's I've never had one that's been labelled as a 'KDF Wagen'. Eitherway it's a nice model, great find. ;D

Marklin made them in two sizes , a large 'dinky ' sized version which is the one in the pictures and a smaller pico version . One of the smaller versions sold on ebay two weeks ago for around £200 .

An old friend of mine was into his model railway, I seem to remember him mentioning he had a selection of Marklin loco's....I didn't know they made model cars as well as railway stuff. Certainly a good find. ;D
