Majorette 262 Mini Bus "Trans World Airlines"

Starting in the 1970s, the French manufacturer Majorette produced a series of minibuses and vans in 1:60 and 1:64 scales, often featuring realistic advertising graphics for well-known brands and companies. A striking and sought-after model from this series is the Mini Bus in TWA livery.

Trans World Airlines (TWA) was one of the largest and most prestigious airlines in the United States in the 20th century. Especially in the 1960s and 1970s, TWA symbolized the glamour of international air travel. By introducing a miniature bus in the TWA livery, Majorette capitalized on the fascination with aviation and the modern travel culture of the time.

The model was often used as an airport shuttle bus in play scenarios and was characterized by Majorette's sturdy metal chassis, plastic details, and recognizable advertising graphics. The TWA version is a popular collector's item today, precisely because many of these models have been intensively played with and are therefore rarely preserved in good condition.

A TWA Majorette Minibus in very good condition is quite rare these days and is a popular collector's item. Not only enthusiasts of Majorette models, but also aviation and TWA collectors are interested in this miniature, as it represents a unique piece of nostalgia from the glory days of aviation.
