AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This listing is for a collectible miniature car representing a 1954 Mercedes Benz, shown in a front view. The model features a metallic silver body, characteristic of vintage-style miniatures. The car's lines are faithful to the iconic aesthetic of the 1950s Mercedes, with a long hood, curved fenders, and a recognizable grille, although only the front is visible in this photo.

The windshield is open, revealing an ivory or beige interior with a visible steering wheel, enhancing the model's authenticity. The headlights are integrated into the body, and the reliefs of the hood and fenders, typical of the Mercedes 300 SL of that era, are discernible. The surface has a slightly grainy finish, with some signs of use and small visible marks, testifying to its age.

The miniature appears to be cast in metal (painted silver metal look), in accordance with the mention "miniature" and the appearance of diecast toys. The Mercedes logo is legible on the front, just above the grille, confirming the brand. It is a piece intended for collection or decoration, true to the scale models produced in the second half of the 20th century.

The view provided only shows the front and top of the vehicle; details of the rear, sides, or underside are not visible and therefore cannot be commented on. No additional markings or manufacturer's references are visible in this photo.

This model is described as "1/40 scale" in the keywords, which indicates the proportion, but no measurements are given here in accordance with the instructions. The overall appearance is retro, ideal for a display case of miniature classic cars or for showcasing on a desk.

Condition

Used item sold as is. Signs of use, micro-scratches, and small signs of wear visible on the body. See photo for a precise assessment of the overall condition.
