Welly's No. 2036 Red Mercedes-Benz S-Class 1:64 Scale Model

Here is Welly's No 2036 red Mercedes-Benz S-Class 1:64 diecast scale model.

This model is about 15 to 18 years old so must be one of the earliest Wellys that were available internationally although the company itself has been in the toy car business since 1979.

Is it 1:64? It definitely feels a notch smaller than 1:43.

It's numbered and the number is 2036.

Rover 75

Here is a Rover 75 wearing a coat of British racing green (?) and a sprinkling of dust.

This is only the first Rover 75 on blog but not the first Rover overall.

Hey, give me that interior!

I could live with that! In fact I could live with a lot worse.

Belarus plates.

But the plastic on the taillights gave out. This car must be at least 15 years old.

Volga GAZ-24-10 Two-Tone

Here is another Volga GAZ-24-10, two-tone, except that is probably not original.

This is the No. 3 Volga GAZ-24-10 on blog.

Three Classic Ladas

Here are three classic Ladas - versions of the very first model, VAZ-2101 - at Zhiguli Restaurant

Green, yellow and red - and they have already been mentioned on this blog at least a couple of times.

Pobeda M-20 Third Series

Here is a Pobeda M-20, third series, serving as a craft beer outlet advertisement.

Note the two-tone coat (which cost extra).

Lada VAZ-2103

Here is a Lada VAZ-2103 parked in central Moscow today.

The Lada VAZ-2103, or simply the "Three", was a luxury version in the VAZ-2101, -02, -03, -04 and -06 line up.

In particular, it had a beautiful dashboard with a tachometer, still a rarity on many affordable 1970s cars.

This is the No. 4 Lada 2103 recorded on this blog.

The 2103 was replaced by the 2106 which looks similar to it but has differences.

GAZ-51 Truck

In only the first sighting for purposes of this blog, here is an iconic GAZ-51 truck.

The GAZ-51 was in production 1946 through 1975.

These trucks were also manufactured under the Soviet license in Poland (as the Lublin-51), North Korea (as the Sungri-58) and China (as the Yuejin NJ-130)
