Titel: Volkswagen 1300 (1972-77) #E17
Bericht door: Toejoe68 op November 30, 2012, 11:32:41
In order to fullfil the normal Juniors range ,Mettoy came with an idea to use the E3 casting (http://3inchforum.nl/index.php/topic,16118.0.html) as a normal Juniors line.
more civil cars where needed and the old E17 (guy worrior tanker was already out of sales)
The Volkswagon 1300 came with a sheet in earlier packaging .
From the factory ,mettoy already placed the sunflower on the roof to cover the gap where the ligthdome was.
The rest was ment to put them on the car by kids in those day,s
Unlabel you can defind as a variation but the real variations are mostly in windows , wheels , interieur and castingcolors.
finding a car without a sunflower on the roof in blister is a factory error.
loose models without sunflower on the roof are mostly removed by kids or collectors.

The 68mm casting
