2 nd vitrine - Siku models
 
 
 
     2 nd shelf  Opel models - 1953 / 1960
    
     In the 2 nd shelf a selection of models from the 50's . There are a couple of models missing , V9 ,  1953 Olympia Rekord Caravan without roof rack , V67 2 nd Edition , etc , but it is already a good selection .
     Pic 1 , on the right you can see a Kapitan P 2.6 L , V148 , made from 1960 until 1965 in four different colors and 2 box types . This is an excellent model , mine is light cream and is almost perfect  but without box . Grille , headlamps , bumpers and wheel covers , silver painted and red rear lights , It has windows but no interior . A least a copy of this model was made by Roco , I will show it later .
     In the midle two different V8 , 1953 Opel Kapitan , made from 1954 until 1959 , 4 different colors and I don't know  what kind of box was used  . The car on the right is light grey with blue roof while in the left we can see the light grey model , both with glazzing but without interior , silver painted , grille , bumpers and wheel covers . This is a good model and I don't know any copy .
     The last car in this picture is the V7 , 1953 Olympia Rekord 2 doors . It was made since 1954 until 1959 , 4 different colors , and I don't know also the box type used . This is a nice model and I know a couple of copies that I have in my collection , but I will show them later . Mine is grey , glazzing but without interior , silver painted grille , bumpers and wheel covers . One of the models I'm looking for is the two color variant , light grey , red roof .

     Pic 2 , V7 on the right , was made since 1954 until 1959 in the usual 4 different colors . This model isn't very correct with the small side rear window and that "XXL" grile . Mine is almost perfect , just a few small scratches on the roof , it is grey with silver grille and hubcaps . I'm looking for the grey with red roof . Two V67 , 1st edition , 1953 Opel Olympia Caravan , similar to V8 but with a roof rack with lugage , made since 1957 until 1959 , with glazzing , but without interior , silver painted grille , hubcaps and roof rack . The Caravan has a better rear than the 2 doors but retains the same grille . I have two V67 , one light green and another grey , both without the lugage . Both models are in very good condition no broken parts and only few small scratches . I'm looking for one V8 . On the left another telephone box .

     Pic 3 , almost only Olympia Rekord P1 models , one of my favorite Opel models . V83 , made since 1958 until 1961 has 2 variants ,  orange and bege or bege and orange and only one type of box , P1 . With this color scheme , P1 Ascona , with glazzing and without interior , this is an excellent model with good body lines , silver painted , grille , headlamps , bumpers and hubcaps . I have both variants , excellent condition for the 3 models and one box . On the left the V 147 , an 1958 Olympia Rekord P1 Caravan , made since 1960 until 1964 . An excellent model with good body lines , with glazzing but without interior , it was made in 4 different colors . Silver painted details as headlamps , grille , bumpers and hubcaps . I have one light blue model , wich was mint until I ... well , he fall and now a small bit of the front bumper on the right is scotched to the bottom , waiting to be glued .

     Pic 4 , just to show the V 171 , the colorful Rekord P2 . Made since 1961 until 1964 , only a color choice orange and yellow and 2 box type P1 or P2 . As you can see in the picture there are two different orange shades light or dark orange and only a light yellow for roof and base . This is my first Siku model with an interior , with the body color , even if very simple . Silver painted , headlamps , grille , bumpers and hubcaps . This is an excellent model . My two examples are in good condition and onr of tham has a box . This was my last plastic Siku , at least until now .
