This set comes with a medium blue painted Volvo P1800.  The set features nine regular cars and as bonus an exclusive vehicle which is a yellow Chevy Camaro SS-396.

Corgi has offered many different gift sets. A very few featured Volvo models. Here is in fact the second set I have found so far with a Volvo P1800. The Corgi gift set # 20 contains a Scammell Handyman tri-deck car transporter and six different cars. All the cars have Whizzwheels. The truck is painted in a nice blue over white over orange color scheme. Every wheel of the truck and the trailer have detailed cast hubs.

The gift set includes a Scammell Cab car transporter and the following six cars :
-  Marcos 3 Litre
-  Lancia Fulvia
-  Ford Capri 3 Litre
-  Volvo P1800 N°201 'The Saint's'
-  MGC GT
-  Pontiac Firebird convertible

This hard to find Corgi GS20 car transporter gift set was sold for :
  • 220 £ ( 257 € / 338 $ ) in February 2013 by Vectis
  • 415 $ ( 270 £ / 316 € ) in October 2011 on eBay
But please be sure to take care when you intend to buy one of these sets. The Corgi gift set # 20 exists also with other scale models. The truck remains the same but there is not always a Volvo in it.

Volvo P1800 by Matchbox

7/8/2012

The Volvo P1800 by Matchbox seems to be quite popular. I have rarely seen so many liveries for a single model in such a short time.
This special limited edition Volvo P1800 with "Seasons Greetings Matchbox USA 2010" has been produced back in 2010 by Color Comp for Matchbox USA as part of the Model of the Month Club. The P1800 comes, as with all Model of the Month models, in a generic white window box.

The US company Color Comp is specialized in pad printing scale models for various companies. They are also offering custom decorations for stores, companies or clubs wanting to have their own merchandising products.

This Volvo P1800 is made of white metal and was sold by the company Modelauto Replica under item number 101. I already knew that this model existed but it is the first time that I was able to get a pair of good pictures of this model. It seems that the model is a copy of the model by Tekno.

Volvo slotcars made by Marusan

11/20/2011

5 Comments

 
The Japanese company Marusan has produced in the past various Volvo H0 slotcar models. In the USA and Japan slotcars in 1:64 scale are referred as H0 scale. This often confuses people in Europe.
The ones I was able to find are :

Volvo PV544  -  colors: blue, turquoise
Volvo P1800  -  color: turquoise

You can see pictures of this model here : www.bilbaneforumet.se

Both models have been sold for ± 900 €  ( 1100 $ )

Marusan is one of the very few old Japanese companies that still exist today.
