Model status: 4.2
Black plastic monoblock wheels with chrome trim. The model we are offering here is in good condition, although a little cleaning wouldn't hurt to restore its former glory! As a side note, this famous Mercedes C111 seems to be the car that has been reproduced by the greatest number of different toy manufacturers! In our case, it's Matchbox, which, in the 1970s, having been acquired by Lesney, commissioned them to produce a series of 1/43 scale Zamac models to compete with other diecast manufacturers. Naturally, as was the trend at the time, this series was equipped with high-speed wheels, the famous "needle axles." The change in scale and the addition of high-speed wheels gave the range its name: "Speed King." The model offered here was produced in 1973. The children who owned this model back then now form a new generation of collectors.

Our models
Auto Jaune Junior offers vintage toys, accessories, documents, and other spare parts that may show slight signs of wear, dirt, or missing pieces. We take great care in describing each item to accurately reflect its condition and make it a point to note any major defects or peculiarities (repainted models, paint touch-ups, crude modifications, inaccurate decals, non-original boxes, etc.).
-
The descriptions
However, the quality and accuracy of our description may sometimes be proportional to the value of the model: for lower-priced models, the description may be more concise. Nevertheless, each product for sale is photographed from three angles; and we have implemented the ability to zoom in on the photos (by clicking on them) to allow you to examine the product in detail.
that's only if you had it in your own hands. -
Our tools
We therefore invite you to use these various tools to carefully examine the characteristics of the models that interest you. Consequently, even if they are not mentioned in the textual description of the model, all types of defects (chips, scratches, deformations, retouching, or non-original repairs) that may be visible in the photos cannot be used as valid grounds for canceling an order.
