The Scania LS110 "Vabis" is a wonderful example of Tekno's craftsmanship in the 1960s and 1970s. Originally a Danish brand, Tekno also produced a wide range of miniature trucks in the Netherlands from the late 1960s onwards, excelling in detail and realism. These models were popular with both children and collectors and are now true classics in the model truck world.
The Scania LS110, also known as the "Vabis," was actually a robust and reliable truck that dominated European roads in the 1960s and 1970s. The LS110 model was particularly popular in heavy-duty transport and was praised for its powerful engine, durability, and distinctive front end.
Tekno released this model under numbers 451-452, with the truck and trailer available in various versions and liveries. Dutch production was distinguished by high quality and meticulous workmanship, making these models still highly sought after by collectors today.
This example is in excellent condition and comes with its original packaging – a rare combination that significantly increases its collector value. The details, such as the cab shape, decals, and construction, reflect the high standards Tekno maintained at the time.
An authentic piece of transport history in miniature, and a wonderful collector's item for enthusiasts of classic Tekno models or historic Scania trucks.
