SOLVED - Volvo 745 break

7/28/2012

2 Comments

 
I falsely labeled this tiny model as Volvo 855. Jan, an avid visitor from Germany just pointed out that it is more likely a Volvo 745 since the rear lamps stop at the middle of the tailgate. And after checking the photos once again, I have to admit that the front resembles also more to a Volvo 745 than a 855.

The 1:200 diecast Volvo 745 break measures only 23x8x7 mm. It has a rather small spigot on the bottom.

The green Volvo 855 in the background is a H0 ( 1:87 ) model by Wiking. The difference in scale is striking when comparing both models.

The Volvo 745 is produced in Great Britain by Graham Avis Details and distributed by the shop 4D modelshop Ltd.
They have the Volvo listed as 1:150 scale model. This does however not match with the size of the tiny car.

The model is available in the following 3 sets :
set of 10 assorted & painted cars
item # MV11557 39.24 £ ± 50 €
set of 10 assorted & unpainted cars
item # MV11558 22.73 £ ± 29 €
set of 10 assorted & white painted cars
item # MV115579 29,52 £ ± 38 €

Are you sure that this is a 855? In my opinion it could be a 745, too, as the rear lights are only under the windows, and the rear window ends too low. But I have no further information about this, could be a architecture model as you said.

Hi Jan,

You might be right.
And I have recently found the company who is producing and offering this model.
I will update the post and label it as solved.
