Siku toy vehicles are the Mercedes of diecast and Mercedes miniatures are a Siku favorite. Appropriatly, these German made cars focus on well-made miniatures. The first diecast, small-scale cars were produced in 1963. Number 302 in the series is a favorite, a 1968 Mercedes Benz 280 SL. This silver examples has opening doors with a red interior.
