The Siku V313 Ford 17M (P7) Turnier "ADAC" is a scale model from the well-known V-series by the German manufacturer Siku, produced in the late 1960s. The model is based on the Ford 17M Turnier (P7), which was produced from 1967 to 1971. This generation of the 17M series was notable for its more angular and modern lines, a clear contrast to the rounded shapes of the earlier P3 "Badewanne."
The Turnier model (station wagon) was popular with families and businesses seeking space and comfort, and it played an important role in the streets of Germany in the 1960s and early 1970s.
The fact that Siku released this model in ADAC livery underscores the historical connection between German automotive heritage and the Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club (ADAC). Even back then, the ADAC was known for its reliable roadside assistance. Their bright yellow vehicles were a familiar sight on the Autobahns and provincial roads.
Today, the Siku V313 is a sought-after collector's item, thanks in part to the combination of the recognizable ADAC model and the classic Ford 17M.
This example is in lightly played-with condition, which is entirely appropriate considering its age, and remains a valuable addition for collectors of the Siku V series, ADAC models, and historic Ford miniatures.
