Lion Car Daf 600

Lion Car DAF 600 Type 1 from 1958, an iconic scale model of DAF's first passenger car. Introduced in 1958, the DAF 600 was revolutionary thanks to its Variomatic transmission, the world's first fully automatic gearbox for production cars. This compact and practical vehicle became a symbol of the Dutch automotive industry and was popular for its simplicity and ease of use.

This Lion Car model, produced during the same period, is one of the first versions of the DAF 600 and is known for its tin bottom, which is an early feature of the first production Lion Car models. Lion Car, a leading Dutch manufacturer of model cars, was known for its detailed and accurate representations of famous Dutch vehicles. This model is no exception and offers an authentic reproduction of the DAF 600, complete with original features such as the characteristic rounded shapes and simple, functional design.

The tires of this model have been renewed, which keeps it drivable and further enhances the model. The rest of the model, including the paint and chassis, is still in very good condition considering its age. The tin base gives this model extra collector's value, as it was replaced by a zamac variant later in the production series, making the early models rarer.

The Lion Car DAF 600 Type 1 is a rare and valuable collector's item, ideal for lovers of both DAF and Dutch scale models. This model highlights a crucial period in the Dutch automotive industry and the craftsmanship of Lion Car.

A must-have for collectors of vintage model cars and lovers of historic vehicles!
