From W. Germany the Schuco Studio racer
Old toy Mercedes Benz racing car by Schuco
Schuco still manufacture quality tinplate toy cars today, and the racers have featured in their catalogue for years. The Mercedes Benz shown here dates to the late 1940s era, and is loosely based on the pre-war Silver Arrows cars. This one is in playworn but otherwise good condition. Schucos are assembled from a kit of metal pieces and they are often missing on early toys that you find now. Fortunately the Schuco Studio racer here still has its exhaust pipe, steering wheel, clip in racing number (8), wheels and knock-on spinners.
Measures: 135mm long.
Colour: silver body and base, wind-up clockwork motor and steering.
