Box van models

For VW fans, these three Transporter series have enjoyed cult status for many years. The VW T1, T2 and T3 all featured an air-cooled
4-cylinder boxer engine. Just 500 copies were made of this limited edition “Air Cooled” set, which showcases the three models in a
premium dustproof transparent case. A musthave addition to any VW Transporter collection!

If the VW T1 was the most successful small transporter of the 1950s and 1960s in West Germany, this position was held in the German
Democratic Republic from 1961 by the Barkas B1000. Announced as a „Schnelltransporter“(quick transporter), the Barkas B1000 was
produced in the period 1961–1990 in the VEB Barkas-Werke in Karl-Marx-Stadt, now Chemnitz. As a box van, it now appears to a scale of
1:43 as a „Schwalbe Customer Service“vehicle with a Schwalbe KR51 as its dashing load. The 1:43 model of this flatbed truck is a
replica of a customer service vehicle for the ‘Schwalbe’ moped, which was manufactured by the East German company Simson. It comes
with a Schwalbe KR51 moped and a Simson technician.

The L 1000 Express delivery vehicle was introduced to the public in 1929 on the basis of the chassis of the Mercedes-Benz „Stuttgart
Type“ passenger vehicle. A 50 BHP sixcylinder engine gave the L 1000 a top speed of 65 km/h. Because of its extraordinary reliability
and its robustness, large quantities of the vehicle were also purchased by the German Reichspost. With a payload of 1000 kilograms and
the advertising area associated with the large-area box-type superstructure, the Mercedes-Benz L 1000 was used by many companies as a
transport vehicle and advertisement on wheels in the 1930s and 1940s.

As of the Carrera Panamericana in 1952, Mercedes-Benz started to take part again in international racing events. In 1954, the
Stuttgart-based company then re-entered the Grand Prix circus and was successful at its very first start at the French Grand Prix with
a one-two victory by Juan Manuel Fangio and Karl Kling. In order to be able to transport the W196 and 300 SLR racing cars to the
respective race tracks — along with the Mercedes-Benz racing division’s huge amount of equipment — a large racing division fleet was
maintained. One of these special vehicles was the Mercedes-Benz O3500 on the basis of the O3500 omnibus, on which our Schuco model, at
a scale of 1:43, is derived. No less than three examples of this vehicle belonged to the racing division.

In the early days of motor sport, from the beginning of the 20th century to well into the 1930’s, the majority of souped-up racing
cars were still transported on their own four wheels from the factories to the famous racetracks of Le Mans, Monza, the Nürburgring or
the infamous Targa Florio in Sicily. As the sport began to become professionalised, from about the middle of the 1930’s, the
development of special transport vehicles, the so-called racing transporters, began. In the mid-1960’s, Porsche too had two transport
vehicles based on the Mercedes-Benz O317 bus chassis built specifically for the needs of its racing division. The two racing
transporters were used by the Porsche racing division until the 1980’s and, over the years, were also adapted several times to the
design of the corresponding major sponsor. Due to their really quite box-like design, the Porsche racing transporters were soon
somewhat mockingly called “furniture vans”. The white painted transporter of the MARTINI Porsche racing team on which our finely
detailed Schuco model is based was used from the mid-seventies onwards and replaced its silvercoloured MARTINI Racing predecessor.

Rotkäppchen Sekt is Germany’s most popular brand of Sekt (sparkling wine). Founded in 1894, it has become one of Germany’s most
well-known brands. In the 1930s the Sekt producer manufactory Kloss & Foerster owned an extensive fleet of delivery vehicles. One
typical vehicle from this era was the Phänomen Granit 25, which is now available as part of the Schuco 1:43 range. This 1.5 tonne
vehicle featured the typical Phänomen air-cooled engine and was used extensively by the Reichspost. The model has numerous elaborate
details and is available in a limited edition of 500 copies.

Following the huge success of the 1.5 tonne Opel Blitz truck in the 1930s, in 1952 Opel launched a 1.75 tonne model to replace its
prewar predecessor. With its American-inspired design, the Opel Blitz was a true trendsetter in the history of German post-war trucks.
Its 2.5 litre, 6-cylinder 58 hp engine helped the Blitz to reach a maximum speed of almost 100 kilometres per hour. Thanks to its
sophisticated and extremely reliable design, the Blitz 1.75 T was used by the Deutsche Bundespost (German Federal Post Office),
government authorities and the private sector, as well as the Porsche racing service. Almost 90,000 vehicles of this series were sold
between 1952 and 1960.

Since there was a sharp rise in the demand for flexible, multi-use transport vehicles in the early stages of the German economic
miracle, Volkswagen started production of the VW Type 2 in 1950. This all-rounder, which was affectionately known as the „VW Bulli“ by
its many fans, developed into the outstanding workhorse of the economic upturn in the Germany of the 1950s.

Especially in the American sunshine states of Florida and California, the VW T1 bus enjoyed absolute cult status in the 60’s and 70’s,
both with surfers and followers of the flower power scene. The vehicle on which the finely decorated Schuco model from the Edition

Under the motto „Race on Sunday - Sell on Monday“, numerous so-called „Club Races“ took place in the USA in the 1950s and enjoyed
great popularity among those actively involved as well as spectators. In these races, motor-sport-enthused private drivers were able
to probe their driving skills and simultaneously push their mainly production-line sports cars to the limit, legally. The
corresponding vehicle dealers also put on suitable transport vehicles in support of their customers‘ vehicles at race tracks like
Laguna Seca, Eagle Mountain or Elkhart Lake. For example, Volkswagen and Porsche dealer „Continental Motors“ of Fort Lauderdale in
Florida operated an elegant and remarkable vehicle-trailer combination, consisting of an original VW T1 tractor unit and the
associated trailer. Thus vehicles such as the Porsche 550 Spyder or the Porsche 718 Spyder were able to be transported.

Since the VW T1 Transporter was getting rather long in the tooth after 17 years in production, and increasing numbers of competitors
were trying to secure a place in the lucrative small transporter market, in August 1967 Volkswagen introduced the second generation of
the VW Transporter, the T2. Compared to its predecessor the T1, the T2 was a complete and consistent new development. With the newly
developed 1.6 litre engine with a powerful 47 BHP, revised independent wheel suspension and a complicated semi-trailing arm double
steering axle, the T2 had extraordinarily good handling, which was able to match the handling of contemporary cars without problems.
With its „new face“ with a continuous windscreen, the Volkswagen T2 was able to seamlessly continue the VW Transporter success story
that began in 1950.

As the vehicle designation already indicates, the VW T3 was the third generation of transporters from the Volkswagen Group. Produced
between 1979 and 1992, the T3 was also the last VW production series equipped with an air-cooled rear engine, a drive concept that
went back as far as the VW Beetle. The VW T3 was manufactured in numerous variants from luxury bus, transporter van and pick-up truck
right through to the camping variants.of them were produced in the period 1955 to 1962. Owing to its egg-like shape, the Isetta is
still known as a „bubble“ car today.

Volkswagen’s efforts to develop a successor to the extremely successful VW T2 Transporter series began in 1975, culminating in the
launch of the VW T3 series in May 1979. Originally, the T3 specifications included a front engine with a front-wheel drive. However,
due to the tight financial circumstances of the VW Group, the development of an all-new engine generation was abandoned and the T3 was
equipped with an air-cooled rear engine like both of its predecessors.

The Volkswagen T3 Transporter, which was unveiled in 1979, set new standards for recreational and family activities. In contrast to
the first two generations of the VW Transporter, the very squarish and matterof-fact shape of the T3 was far from charming for many
customers. Nonetheless, its powerful boxer engine, greater comfort and the large amount of available space ensured the Volkswagen T3
soon became a firm favourite with customers. Manufactured between 1979 and 1992 as a bus, box van and flat-bed truck, it offered lots
of opportunities to stamp your personal mark on the vehicle. Due to the great success of the VW T2 Westfalia camper van, the T3 was
also designed as a Westfalia. During its production period, there were a number of camping variants such as the ‘Joker’ basic model
and the slightly more elaborately equipped ‘Club Joker’. In later years, the ‘Joker’ model was also marketed under the name
‘California’. Volkswagen subsequently launched the ‘Atlantic’, which was a more luxurious mobile home. Today, the original T3 ‘Joker’,
‘Club Joker’, ‘California’ and ‘Atlantic’ versions are an integral part of the VW club scene and fetch high prices among collectors
and fans.

Because of the considerable demand for small transporters and the major success of the Volkswagen T1 transporter, in-house development of a range of Ford small transporters also started at the Ford factories in Cologne-Niehl. The Ford FK 1000, which was later known as the Ford Taunus Transit, was introduced in 1953 and was manufactured until 1966. With a top speed of 95 km/h, the FK1000 was considerably faster than its competitors the VW T1 (75 km/h) and the Tempo Matador (80 km/h), which led to its nickname of “Racing Transporter” at the time. Schuco presents the die-cast Ford FK 1000 with NSU Max in 1:43 scale. As is expected of Schuco models, a number of key features have been reproduced exactly with the greatest attention to detail.

Under the watchful eye of Renzo Rivolta, the founder of Iso Motor Italien S.A. based in Madrid, roughly 1,000 Italian Iso Isettas were manufactured between 1953 and 1959. The basic thought behind the development of the Isetta was the increasing lack of parking spaces in big cities and the growing demand for fuel efficient vehicles. The result was a bubble-shaped car on two front and one rear wheel, equipped with a 236cc, single-cylinder engine. The front door opened to the front with the steering column and sparsely equipped instrument panel swinging out with it. This cult car was also available as a flat bed truck known as the Isocarro. Schuco now presents a miniature PRO.R line model of the Isocarro flat bed truck in scale 1:18, loaded with wine demijohns and limited to 250 copies worldwide.

Type 635 was a permanent feature of the newly developed lightweight series of MAN, introduced from 1960 onwards, which thanks to the engine rating complied at that time with the new registration laws.

The 6.6 t cab over engine type was propelled by a new, small capacity, high-speed 135 hp engine. The features of the “Bullnosed COB” as it was popularly known, also included a compressed air hydraulic front brake, an eight-speed synchromesh gearbox, suspended pedals and a hydraulic clutch. With a net weight of 4,250 kg and an additional load capacity of 6,750 kg, the fast truck was predestined for use as a racing car transporter.

For this reason, Porsche had the original vehicle converted into a suitable racing car transporter with a body suitable for the safe transportation of three vehicles. In addition, apart from an additional row of seats in the rear of the cab, the transporter also provided adequate space for tools and spares.

Schuco is issuing 2,000 limited edition miniature models of this legendary MAN “Porsche” racing car transporter in the scale 1:18 in the PRO.R line. A small range model line made of resin has become established with this series, which stands for exceptional and highly filigree models.

The Opel Blitz double-cab articulated truck of the third post-war generation (1960 to 1965) was a further development of the Opel Blitz built between 1952 and 1960, and was designed for a payload of 1.9 tons. Under the much shorter and sloping bonnet
you could expect to find the 70 bhp, 2.6 liter, six-cylinder petrol engine of the Opel Kapitän.

The 'sloping bonnet' Blitz was available in various shapes and sizes, including a pick-up and box van version and a minibus. Furthermore, it was used as a truck tractor unit along with various special superstructures. The Opel Blitz was therefore also used in the world of motor racing to transport cars. Even though it was not suitable for transporting really heavy objects, it was ideal for some lighter-weight racing cars. As a result, the Porsche Racing Team from Stuttgart transformed an Opel Blitz articulated truck into a racing transporter for the safe transportation of three cars at the start of the sixties.

Like all the other service vehicles of the Porsche Racing Team at that time, the Opel Blitz racing transporter was painted in the attractive guards red livery.

Racing cars such as the Porsche 718, the Porsche 904 GTS and the Porsche 906 Carrera were thus transported from the factory in Stuttgart to legendary circuits like Targa Florio in Sicily, Le Mans in France, the renowned Hockenheimring and the Nürburgring.

Hans Glas started production of the Goggo motor scooter in 1951, and it was Germany’s best selling scooter for quite some time. Encouraged by this financial success, the Goggomobil T250 followed in 1955, and therefore the lucrative entry into the small vehicle market, which was growing rapidly at the time. When the Deutsch Bundespost (German Post Office) was looking for a low-cost small delivery vehicle as a useful addition to the VW Transporter in the early 50’s, the Glas factory in Dingolfing developed the TL 250, a small and extremely agile small transporter. Today, both the Goggo Limousine and the small transporter are sought-after collector’s items and an integral part of the old-timer scene. Schuco presents the die-cast Goggo Limousine and the Goggo small van in 1:43 scale. As is expected of Schuco models, a number of key features have been reproduced exactly with the greatest attention to detail.

Named after the highest mountain range of former Czechoslovakia, the High Tatra, cars have been produced in Koprivnice since 1920 under the „TATRA“ brand name. Ever one of the most technically creative producers of private cars and utility vehicles, TATRA was nationalised after the Second World War and concentrated more and more on building lorries.

Typical of the so-called „Tatra Concept“ were also its tubular backbone frame and the all-wheel drive. Up to 1972, over 48,000 Tatra 138s were produced and exported to over 40 countries. Schuco presents the die-cast Tatra T138 in 1:43 scale. As is expected of Schuco models, a number of key features have been reproduced exactly with the greatest attention to detail.

Volkswagen AG developed a vehicle that was especially suitable for delivering letters and packages, emptying letter boxes and for use as a country postal vehicle on behalf of Deutsche Post (German Post Office) from the beginning of the 1960s.

The 34 BHP Boxer engine originated from the 1200 Beetle and the chassis was the same as that of the Karmann Ghia. About 6000 of the VW model 147, which was affectionately known as “Fridolin”, were manufactured between 1964 and 1973. As well as the special postal versions for the German Post Office and the Swiss Post Office, a civilian version of the “Fridolin” was also manufactured.

After the rapid growth in the 50s of the desire for free mobility combined with the wish for travel to southern countries in large sections of the population, the camping culture became widespread as never before. It quickly occurred to a few talented vehicle developers that, in addition to the trailer caravans already known since the 20s, motorised caravans, motorhomes, could be developed. Thus, in California, a building kit appeared with which a VW Beetle could be converted into a low-cost version of a small motorhome - the Bug Camper. As well as demanding some handiwork skill, the conversion did take a good deal of time. The normal space in a Beetle was not enough for two beds, a table, wall cupboards and cooking facilities, so massive changes had to be made. To achieve this, the bodywork from just in front of the windscreen to the rear end was completely removed and a wooden superstructure was then built on the remaining chassis.

Companies such Beutler and Karmann from Osnabrück experimented with a wide variety of superstructure variants based on the VW Beetle in the 1950s. In addition to enchantingly attractive coupé variants, Beutler also developed a Beetle box-type van and a VW Beetle small transporter. Among other things, Karmann produced the well-known VW Karmann Ghia and also a small transporter on the technical basis of the VW Beetle. Because of the major success of the VW Transporter T1, these developments were only manufactured in very small quantities and disappeared from the market again very quickly.

When the first 12 models in the Schuco-Piccolo series were launched in 1957 nobody had any idea at that stage that these models would still enjoy immense popularity sixty years later. This is no doubt attributed to the simple, robust and thus charming design of the models, which originally owed their appearance to the new die-cast technology of the time.  Schuco Piccolos still make a good impression today on account of their excellent running qualities and their heavy zinc die-casting design like the VW T1 with two Kleinschnittger.

When, in the early days of the German economic miracle, the demand and the need for a multi-purpose small transport vehicle was growing ever greater, Volkswagen, with its VW Transporter, had just the right vehicle on offer. Available in the body variants of delivery van, bus, flatbed truck and Samba microbus, the VW T1, lovingly known in Germany as the „Bulli“, was the ideal vehicle for a wide customer-base. After successful advertising, even as early as the 50s based on widespread closeness to the customer, inventive advertisers very soon found the T1, ever-present in the traffic at the time, to be an ideal mobile advertising platform that, because of its unmistakable design, also came across as a good friend. From the mid-50s, the most attractive and creative advertising T1s were those operated by the Schwäbisch Hall Building Society. Under a wind and weather-proof Perspex dome, a miniaturised new housing estate was presented to future savers and builders. 15 of these eye-catching advertising vehicles were in use throughout Germany on behalf of Schwäbisch Hall until well into the 60s and, whether in the daily traffic or in front of many bank branches, they made everyone aware of the building society idea and the slogan „A house builds something else“.
