Dinky Toys 116 Volvo P1800S

The Dinky Toys 116 Volvo 1800S is a beautiful miniature model that was produced between 1966 and 1971 by Meccano Ltd. in Liverpool. The model is a faithful replica of the iconic Volvo 1800S, a stylish sports coupe that became famous for its timeless design and reliable performance. The Volvo 1800S is not only known as a classic symbol of Scandinavian craftsmanship, but also gained worldwide fame through its appearance in the popular television series The Saint.

With its flowing lines, long bonnet and sporty appearance, the Volvo 1800S was a popular alternative to other European sports cars of the time. Dinky Toys managed to capture this elegance perfectly in miniature form. The model is made to a scale of approximately 1:43 and made of sturdy die-cast metal. Characteristic details such as the striking grille, elegant bumpers and chrome accents give the miniature a realistic appearance. The interior is neatly finished and the smooth-rolling wheels make it a popular toy and collector's item.

This specific example is in very good condition. The paintwork has remained beautifully glossy and the details are sharp and neat. The original packaging is also still present and is also in very good condition, with only minimal traces of use that hardly detract from the presentation. Together, the model and the box form a beautiful and complete whole that deserves a valuable place in both the display case and in a Dinky collection.

The Dinky Toys 116 Volvo 1800S is loved by collectors because of its stylish appearance and the timeless design of the original Volvo. This example with original packaging in very good condition not only offers a nostalgic insight into the automotive world of the 1960s, but is also a tangible reminder of the craftsmanship and quality that made Dinky Toys great.
