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! |
I do not know much about this Volvo 460 GLE model. As you can see the model is in fact a key-holder. It comes in a simple box. I presume that this model was released or distributed as gift when the real car was launched in the 1990's. The model is made of metal. The metal of the bottom-plate is rather soft and tends to bend rather quickly. It seems to be glued to the body. I was not yet able take both parts apart. The model is 50.9 mm long, 20.4 mm width and 15.5 mm high. These dimensions result in a near exact scale of 1:85.

I found this Volvo 440 Turbo in an auction this weekend. First of all I have never seen one like this before. The Volvo is made out of a heavy metal. The RHD ( right hand drive ) model has a basic interior but no glazing and it comes fixed on a wooden base. It is a 1:43 scale model and it measures 10x4x3 cm ( lwh ). Due to the inscription on the bottom, I guess that it is a former promotional model from Volvo. I would be pleased if someone could help me to find more infos about this scale model.
