The number forty-eight in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is the Volvo 360 GLE. This Volvo 360 from model-year 1988 is painted in a very attractive light green metallic (paint code 302) and features a 2-tone interior. This Volvo 360 GLE is made from a newly tooled mold. Volvo 360 scale models have been so far pretty rare in 1:43.

Volvo Amazon 4-door by DeAgostini in a partwork series in Rumania

10/27/2014

1 Comment

 
A magazine series called ‘Maşini de Legendă' (Legendary Cars) is being offered in Rumania since 2014 by DeAgostini. The whole collection will count a total of 120 different scale models when finished. The models are all made by Ixo in China. Each model cost 25,90 lei (Romanian New Leu) (~5.85 €). Model number 79 has been released September 24th, 2014. It is a 4-door Volvo P120 Amazon. The diecast model is painted white over blue and features a black interior. This is so far the first Volvo model which has appeared in that partwork collection. I don't know if another Volvo model will follow at a later date.

I was told by Minichamps that they will rework the initial scale model. The first release of the 1:18 Volvo P1800ES dates back to 2004.

They told me also that the newest release should be ready this autumn. A precise release date is however not yet known. The model will be painted dark green and will feature a beige interior. The diecast model will be available under item number 100171614.

Volvo 264 TE 'DDR' by BoS-Models

10/16/2014

0 Comments

 
ModelCarWorld has just announced that they have released a Volvo 264 TE 'DDR' Limousine under the label BoS-Models. The 1:43 scale model is painted black and features a black interior. It is fitted with a round blue beacon on the roof as well as two 'DDR' flags above the headlamps. The shortcut BoS stands for 'Best of Show'. This resin model is exclusively available at Model Car World. It is available under item # 197946 for 34.95 €. The model is already available.

Some history:

The Volvo 264 TE was built from 1974 to 1983. In total about only 300 units of this special bodied Volvo had been built. The Swedish coachbuilder Nilsson as well as the Italian coachbuilder Bertone built all those cars for Volvo. Volvo provided the base model which was in fact the rather rare Volvo 262 which Volvo offered only between 1975 and 1977. This car was then shipped to Nilsson or Bertone where the car was cut in half and a second door was added. This second door was a totally new made part. They were not able to use a regular door because they were too short. The goal was to offer the customers a really large and comfortable entry to the rear seats. This car was especially loved by the government of the former 'DDR' ( GDR - German Democratic Republic, generally known in English as East Germany ).

Many of these cars have survived. A register can be found at the website volvobertone.com.

UPDATED - Volvo 240 estate 'Polis' by Editions Atlas

10/14/2014

17 Comments

 
The number forty-nine in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is the Volvo 240 SE estate in the livery of the Swedish Police (Polis) of Stockholm. The Volvo is painted white (paint code 189) and features a black leather interior. The license plate reads 'LNO 996'. As you may know I don't know much about Police cars. I can't tell you therefore if the decorations of this scale model are correct or not.
Those of you who have paid attention to the release numbers may have noticed that model 48 is still missing. Number 48 (N° 8 506 048) will be shipped after this release which wears number N° 8 506 049. The reason for this switch are logistical issues in China.

Update:
Many comments have been left regarding this Volvo 240 estate model in the livery of the Swedish Police. I have therefore contacted Editions Atlas and asked them to tell me more about the car they choose to represent this replica. This "Polis" model is a real Swedish Police car. The Volvo 240 estate was indeed rarely used by the Police in Sweden. It was used by the K9 teams since the trunks of the Volvo 240 estate offered the possibility to host large cages for the dogs. Editions Atlas worked in collaboration with the Police Museum in Stockholm to guarantee a correct replica of the real car which is still existing today. The car is parked in the reserve of the Police Museum. The car is actually a DL model as you can see from the photos on the website www.klassiker.nu. Editions Atlas choose however to use the license plate from the car used in a TV series. You can have a look at the car by clicking this link. I hope that these few info's are helpful.

Volvo truck collection launched by Editions Atlas as test in Sweden

10/7/2014

12 Comments

 
Yes you are reading correctly. I speak here about scale model trucks. I have to admit that I choose so far not to present trucks in my news. But there is rarely a rule without an exception.

Editions Atlas has launched yesterday a test in Sweden for a collection of Volvo trucks. The collection will consist only of 1:43 scale diecast models. This is only a test to see if any interest among collectors - old and new - exists. Editions Atlas will develop such a collection if enough people are returning the postcard. A list for future models does not yest exist. The customers who will subscribe to this test will receive the shown model of the Volvo N88 in the livery of Swedish company Ramlösa. The scale model of this truck has been newly tooled for this release.

This would be the first collection consisting of trucks from one single brand. So far only Altaya has launched a 1:43 scale truck collection in Spain and France featuring models from many different truck companies.

Editions Atlas has also launched the Volvo Collection in the French speaking region in Belgium. This part of Belgium is also called Walloon Region. Editions Atlas has launched the Volvo Collection already in March 2012 in the Flemish Region.

The first model which you will receive will be the Volvo P1800 from model-year 1966. You can buy this 1:43 scale model for only 5.90 €. And you will not only receive the Volvo P1800 but also a poster as well as a booklet showing and explaining the history of this iconic car. The second release in Austria will be the Volvo Amazon with 4-doors and the third model will be the Volvo PV444. Each of the four first models will be delivered with a free gift. The subsequent models will be those who are actually being delivered in the four other countries where the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas had started back in autumn 2011. Please click here to see an overview of the so far released models.
For our Belgian Volvo fans :

Quote from the presentation of the Volvo Collection on Editions Atlas website :
La Volvo P1800
Le légendaire coupé sport venu de Suède !


Un coupé sport qui devint vite une star du petit écran !

Présenté pour la première fois en France au Salon de l’Auto de Paris en octobre 1960, ce coupé venu du Grand Nord, au design italien, fut assemblé initialement par le constructeur britannique Jensen, puis rapatrié en Suède dès 1963 pour assurer une production zéro défaut.

Mais cette P1800 doit d’abord sa renommée mondiale à la mythique série « Le Saint » dans laquelle Roger Moore alias Simon Templar conduit une superbe PL1800 blanc perle ! D’une robustesse à toute épreuve, cette voiture figure aujourd’hui au Livre Guinness des records ; une P1800 de 1966 ayant dépassé en 2013 la barre des 3 millions de miles (soit plus de 4, 8 millions de km) !
Une miniature de collection, livrée avec un passionnant livret documentaire incluant son certificat d’authenticité
Pour faire revivre cette légende, les Editions ATLAS vous proposent aujourd’hui une fidèle reproduction à l’échelle 1/43 de cette belle suédoise. Admirez la finesse de ses détails : son long capot et sa calandre gourmande, son jonc chromé, sa ligne de toit tombante, sa teinte blanc perle… tout a été scrupuleusement reproduit. Un bel objet de collection !

Mieux encore !
Pour satisfaire votre curiosité, recevez avec cette réplique de la P1800, un passionnant livret documentaire, illustré de nombreuses photos d’époque, retraçant toute l’histoire de ce coupé sport légendaire. Enfin, conservez précieusement le certificat d’authenticité intégré à ce livret ; ce document délivré par Volvo atteste que votre miniature Volvo P1800 est une réplique fidèle en tout point à la voiture d’origine.
Here is a list of the free gifts which you will receive with the first four models of the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas:
