HELP WANTED

This chapter is about weird models where I have not yet been able to find any kind of precise info's and where I do need your help!

SOLVED : Volvo 850 Polis by Hongwell / Brio Junior Driver

5/8/2013

1 Comment

 
A Dutch Volvo collector has acquired this 1:43 scale model decorated as Swedish Polis car. We ignore however when this precise model has been released and under which label. It has most probably been sold as a Hongwell or Brio Junior Driver model. But we are not sure and we were not yet able to determine the precise origin. Here is a link showing various other similar versions : emergencydiecast.com/policesehongwell
UPDATE :
Michelle

That is one of the very first versions issued in Sweden, and with the incorrect livery (since the Swedish Police never had a blue stripe). It was later corrected to the first version with blue fenders and gradually for each reissue it became more and more correct.
I think the first version appeared around late 1990´s. I know the first 2 versions were sold at the same time in a large giftset as Junior Driver.
see some attached pictures from my collection

Volvo Amazon & Amazon convertible

5/1/2013

I have seen the following Volvo Amazon models only once over the past years. I have no idea who produced these 1:43 scale models. I also ignore if the two 'convertibles' are from the same source. There are a few points that allow to pretend that it is however the same model. Any help is warmly welcome.
