 DESCRIPTION

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 309 in the series is a 1969 Mercedes Benz 250. This red sedan has opening doors with a red interior. The black Siku wheels with white spokes were a response to Hot Wheels' red stripes and Matchbox Superfast wheels, replacing more traditional wheels, much like Matchbox regular wheels.
