Amazing What Experts Find Fascinating About This Car - Rare 1960s Schuco Toy Car Fetches €350 at Auction
An unusual and rare toy car, made by Schuco between 1960 and 1964, has caught the eye of collectors. Depicting a woman driving a Toyota in the 1960s, it's highly unusual and was recently auctioned off on 'Bargain Hunt' for €350.
The toy Toyota Rav4, a complete set including the vehicle, original box, both instruction sheets, and all accessories, is in high demand. It features a moving mechanism that allows the car to move both forward and backward, with the female driver steering and turning her head to the side. Alma Loukili, who inherited the toy from her grandmother, hoped to sell it for between €500 and €800 on the show. However, expert Alan Carter valued it at a more realistic €450 to €550 due to a damaged windshield.
The Schuco toy car, a rare and unusual piece of history, fetched €350 at the 'Bargain Hunt' auction. Despite the damage, it remains a sought-after collectible, showcasing a unique depiction of a woman driver in the 1960s.
