More great Tekno re-interpretations. I can’t say Tekno fakes because they are not Tekno! I can not say re-productions because they were never produced! 🙂
When you have 10!!!! Jeeps, you can start to see those small variations. I have only 2, so I will have to check them to see if they have straight or bent bumpers! Thanks for the information!
Welcome from the US – there is one other ‘English’ speaker here – me! 🙂 There are so many variations on the 230/250/280 that we would love to hear which ones you have! Karl

That is my 280SL photo above – I got it many years ago with a white base in that funny Tekno box.

I am still interested in when and why Tekno converted from rubber to metal to rubber (or metal to rubber?) tires on their FORD V8s. Was the rubber shortage in Europe the same as the US at that time. See the 1942 poster from the US about the lack of new rubber supply after 1942…

Perhaps from 1940-42, they used rubber and then as well after the 1945 surrender? So from about 1942- about 45 was tinplate?
Knut, was it more than 2 years ago we had this discussion? with photos! http://www.planetdiecast.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=197&id=71548&Itemid=0
MPC are the black Kirk boxes with ‘Model Products’ and ‘Action’ on them? (not the MPC boxes with strip ‘n steer from the US).
Tempus fugit…
Hans Jørgen!
That might have ben me – Hobby Talk 2008! Here is my ad from December 1970, but no Mercedes is mentioned for the US.
Very, very nice airplanes – with nice boxes also!
Danske Modelbiler (2002) has an ad for Blue Sun with address Jaegersborggade 56, Kobenhavn N. They also made a BAKELIT(!!) Ford V8 coupe.
I really like your idea to use a LLedo to re-create an old Tekno. No one will be fooled and spend a lot of Kroner thinking they got a real Tekno (now or years later). I worry that repaint/spare parts cars will be taken as ‘real’ Tekno years later, when the 3rd or 4th owner sells it!
What other common/modern model cars can be turned into classic Teknos? 🙂
Nice!!! If you do not place it next to a ‘real’ Tekno VW, that might confuse some people! It would me! It looks so right but just something a little ‘wrong’ with it! 🙂
I thought that Akerman had too many wheels! 🙂 Looks a little strange on the Volvo flat bed, but I like it!
Thanks Bertel! Is that the gift shop?
