Siku V311 Volkswagen Kever 1300

The Siku V311 Volkswagen Beetle 1300 is a scale model from Siku's famous V-series, produced in the 1960s. The model is based on the legendary Volkswagen Beetle 1300, one of the most iconic cars of the 20th century.

Originally designed in the 1930s by Ferdinand Porsche at the request of the German government, the Volkswagen Beetle became a global success after World War II. In the 1960s, the Beetle was the symbol of reconstruction and mobility in Europe. The 1300 version, introduced in 1965, featured a more powerful engine and improved handling, but retained the timeless, rounded design that made the Beetle so beloved.

This was a highly recognizable model for children of the 1960s, as the Volkswagen Beetle was literally everywhere on the road at the time. Today, the Siku V311 is a sought-after collector's item, particularly due to the historical value of both the Beetle and the classic Siku V series.

This example is in played-with condition, which underscores its age and playful history, but remains a valuable piece of toy nostalgia and automotive history.
