     4th shelf  Opel models - 1964 / 1969
    
     In the 4st shelf , you can watch all Siku models of the Opel range for the second half of the 60's . Siku choice was excellent , but only 4 new  models were made , Rekord C CoupĂ© and 5 doors Caravan , Olympia A 2 doors and the Opel GT 1900 .
     The Rekord C CoupĂ© was made between 1967 and 1974 . The first version has plastic head and rear lights , R1 or R2 wheels and P3 boxes , while the 2nd version has engraved front lights on the grille and rear lights engraved on the body , R9 wheels and P4 , P5 and maybe P7 and P8 boxes , but I'm not sure of that . All versions have oppening doors . Rei , in Brasil , made authorized copies of the Rekord C Coupe and GT 1900 .
     On the right my three Rekord C Coupe , in the second plan a mint boxed first version , white , blue interior red steering wheel . R2 wheels and P3 box . This is a perfect example , so he is always inside the box . In the first plan on the right , a mint unboxed 2nd version , white with  blue interior and red steering wheels . R9 wheels and as you can see the front lights are engraved , the last on the left is one first version but with R1 wheels ans yellow steering wheel .
      The Rekord C Caravan was made between 1967 and 1969 (?) . There are two main variants V272-1 with ski set on the roof and V272-2 with ski set and red bobsleigh . R1 and R2 wheels and P3 boxes .
     My 2 Rekord C Caravans are both V272-1 . In the first plan a mint incomplete model , missing part of the ski set , light blue , red interior with white steering wheel and R2 wheels . My second Rekord C Caravan a mint boxed model , also light blue with red interior , but yellow steering wheel and R1 wheels . Box is a green P3 .
