NEW OLD MODELS FOUND

The tag says it all. It's all about older models which I have discovered only recently.

Volvo Amazon 2-door 'Ole Sommer'

8/4/2011

I knew for a while that this scale model existed but only recently found one which I was able to buy.

The model car has been produced in resin by Tonic as kit and rtr model.

This model represents a modified Volvo Amazon that Ole Sommer, a Danish Volvo dealer, had produced for himself.
This Amazon was a one-off model that he had built in 1960.

Here is a short quote from an article in the book:
The Essential Volvo 120 Series and P1800

'In 1960 Danish Volvo dealer Ole Sommer had a one-off coupe built on a shortened chassis from a PV445 estate car, incorporating 120 series panels for the front end while the rear body was hand-built with aluminium panels. The car used a twin - carb B16 engine. Its windscreen was a 120 series rear screen. The seats, rear screen and other parts were taken from various Jaguars, a make for which Sommer was the Danish agent. The car was originally sold, but in 1968 it was bought back by Sommer and added to his sizeable private car museum on the outskirts of Copenhagen.' (1996: 35)

This model is a pattern that has been produced to detect possible errors before it will go into production.
The model is 2.5 bigger than the final model.
Two models are so far known : this one and an identical one made of beige resin.
These pattern are made of solid resin.

The produced model is the Tyco slotcar that has been released for the first time in 1996.
