Description

A striking Dinky Toys No.224 Mercedes-Benz C.111 die-cast model, depicting the futuristic experimental sports car developed by Mercedes-Benz during the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The C.111 became one of the most recognisable concept cars of its era, renowned for its advanced engineering, distinctive wedge-shaped styling and gull-wing doors.

Finished in metallic red with contrasting cream detailing, this model captures the dramatic lines of the original prototype.

Features include opening gull-wing doors, an opening rear engine cover and a detailed moulded engine, all mounted on its original Dinky display plinth.

The model is accompanied by its original clear plastic display cover, making it an appealing piece for collectors of classic die-cast vehicles and automotive memorabilia.

The Mercedes-Benz C.111 remains one of the most iconic concept cars ever produced, and Dinky’s interpretation is a wonderful reminder of the optimism and futuristic styling that defined automotive design during the period.
