1/18 Mercedes-Benz Race Transporter "Blue Wonder" #6032 CMC M-036 - pre-owned -FH321
Description
The model comes from an estate. It is in untouched, top condition. However, the original packaging shows signs of storage. Please look at all pictures to see what you are getting.
Not suitable for children under 14 years. May contain small and sharp parts.
The "Blue Wonder" is the absolute bestseller among CMC miniatures. No wonder, considering the aesthetic appearance of the model and once you get to know its diverse technology. High-quality materials and perfect workmanship, coupled with the deep blue high-gloss finish, add up to a collector's item of a special class. With the new edition, we were able to incorporate various external details as supplementary accessories based on newly discovered original photos. These include, for example, chrome-plated wheel covers, an embossed Mercedes star on the front of the vehicle, and orange lenses for the auxiliary headlights. Furthermore, the stone chip deflectors on the rear fenders, a rear license plate light including two reflectors and an oval country identification plate "D" on the rear bumper, and the matte black paintwork of the support trestles for the ramps complete the supplementary package.
In 1954/55, a handcrafted unique piece was created in the Daimler-Benz experimental department: the Mercedes-Benz racing transporter. With its deep blue paintwork, the softly curved bodywork, and a top speed of 170 km/h, "the Blue Wonder" attracted as much attention as the W196 and 300 SLR race cars on its loading area. When Daimler-Benz withdrew from motorsport after the 1955 season, the racing transporter also disappeared from public view and was even scrapped in 1967. It was only in the early 1990s that Daimler-Benz remembered its jewel and had it resurrected as an identical replica under the direction of the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center.
