Dinky Toys 122 Volvo 265DL Estate

The Dinky Toys 122 Volvo 265DL Estate is a beautiful miniature model that was produced by Meccano Ltd. in England between 1977 and 1980. This detailed replica of the Volvo 265DL Estate perfectly captures the robust and practical look of the original model – a car that was renowned for its reliability, safety and Scandinavian style in the 1970s and 1980s.

The Volvo 265DL Estate was a luxurious estate car based on the popular Volvo 200 series, and symbolised the comfort and solidity that put Volvo on the map worldwide. The model was much praised for its spacious interior, safe handling and timeless design – features that have also been beautifully translated into the Dinky Toys version.

The Dinky Toys 122 model is manufactured to a scale of approximately 1:43, made of die-cast metal and featuring fine details such as the characteristic grille and bumpers. The car is finished in a beautiful metallic paint and has smooth rolling wheels and a neat interior. It is a wonderful example of the detailed and high-quality miniatures that Dinky Toys was known for during this period.

This particular example is in very good condition. The paint is beautiful and shiny, the details are sharp and the model shows hardly any signs of use. The original packaging is also present and is in very good condition, with minimal signs of use that hardly detract from the presentation. Together they form a particularly attractive whole for both the display case and the collector.

The Dinky Toys 122 Volvo 265DL Estate is not only a beautiful miniature car, but also a valuable piece of toy history. It combines the timeless look of the Volvo with the craftsmanship of Dinky Toys – a wonderful addition for any lover of classic Dinky models or Swedish car icons.
