Thank you, Bertel. I have the Tekno already! But not in black. It has a replacement screw on the bottom, do you think? If you can not sell it there, I would take it to help you. But I need the Vilmer version.
Shane – great Batmobile lineup! That was a lot of work!
Bertel – If you ever see a Vilmer Mercedes 180 sedan at the collectors market, you know who wants one badly! 🙂
I live in the US and do not have flea markets, etc, to go to to buy old beat up Vilmer for parts, so I have never taken one apart. It seems they found a good way to attach the windshield to the bottom of the cab – Perhaps like a rivet or press fit with a hole in it for the steering? I am sorry I can not help.
Thanks, Hans Jørgen, for the comments. I’ll add the dates for the Volvo and I understand your comment about the Chevrolet 460-462. That’s a good option but I don’t know if Volmer really paid that much attention to reference numbers! 🙂
I used the term Scandinavia because I did not know the import tax limitations on each country and tried to be generic. Maybe I should have just used Norway.
Thanks guys. It’s too bad there is no one from Vilmer themselves to interview to answer all the questions we have. It was great that Peter found so many involved with Tekno and Molberg!
I also want to thank Hans Jørgen and others for their photos. I try to give credit to everyone.
Did not realize you are a professional restorer! Very nice! Are you doing any Teknos for customers (or is it confidential)?
I think my Volvo is too short! hahaha 🙂

Hi, Lenander! Do you have any left? I live in the US! Maybe you sold them all in DK? What did your mother’s father do at Tekno?
I saw a photo of it in the farm gift set so I assume it is a farm tipping trailer. But originally I thought it could be industrial – for gravel or coal? Does anyone know any old farmers? 🙂
The ‘man cave’ is usually in the basement or the lowest floor, ie, the cave! So this is the basement (no windows), with one room only.

You guys have so much good stuff!!! I just moved so i am still setting up my 3 cabinets! But for the first time in 50 years, I have a ‘man cave’ now.

Great job with the Ovatrol Polytrol – I will have to look that up. I have never heard of it.
And the Dremel is a great idea too since it has a soft brush!
Tom – maybe some light (very fine) steel wool could take some of the rust off. But be careful not to scratch the headlight. And use some tape on the paint so as not to damage it even more. A vert rare VW so a little rust on it is no big problem!!! Congratulations! (Sorry, I can not write in Norwegian.)
Yes, no problem. I put them on hobbyDB so people could use them!
Hans Jørgen – it’s fantastic that you found that film of the Forum 1964. Proves that the 2 Monzas were there in Copenhagen! I had read years ago that Tekno snuck in to measure it at night since they did not have permission from GM. Perhaps why they left off the Chevrolet name from the Tekno biler!
The license plate starts with PM! (That is a hint!) Playmobile!
It looks very detailed – might be big and all plastic?
Bagsværd – Haaning Collection? Very nice building! I hope to visit one day post-COVID!
I saw the collection and the Teknos in their old place, Vestsjællands Bilmuseum. They let me see all their old Tekno molds that were behind the counter! Very fascinating! I was geeked out on Tekno history!
