Tekno 928 Mercedes-Benz 230SL

The Tekno 928 Mercedes-Benz 230SL is an iconic scale model manufactured in the 1960s by the Danish brand Tekno. The model is based on the legendary Mercedes-Benz 230SL, nicknamed the "Pagoda" for its unique, slightly curved hardtop. Introduced in 1963, the real 230SL was a revolution in sporty elegance and luxury. It combined excellent performance with refined German engineering and quickly became a symbol of style and success.

Founded in Denmark in 1928, Tekno was known for producing high-quality model cars. The Tekno 928 Mercedes-Benz 230SL reflects the precision and attention to detail that the brand became famous for. The model is manufactured to a scale of 1:43 and features such features as detailed bodywork, working wheels and often a carefully chosen color scheme that remained true to the original Mercedes-Benz color palettes.

What makes these Tekno models extra special is their durability and collectibility. They were made of zinc alloy (zamac) and equipped with authentic looking plastic windows and fine details, which set them apart from many other toy models from the same period.

Although many original Tekno models are still in circulation, the original box has often been lost due to intensive use as toys. A high-quality reproduction box offers a nice solution for collectors who want to place the model in a presentation that does justice to the original charm. Reproduction boxes are carefully designed to replicate the design, colors and size of the original Tekno box. They not only offer protection, but also restore the nostalgic look of the model.

The Tekno 928 Mercedes-Benz 230SL with a good reproduction box is therefore a beautiful addition to any collection. It unites the heritage of one of the most iconic sports cars with the history of a leading manufacturer of miniatures. A high-quality reproduction box enhances the presentation and brings the charm of the 1960s to life for the modern collector.
