  Franklin Mint 1:24 1973 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL Roadster- European Version (Silver) (Discontinued) diecast car
 
 
 

DISCONTINUED 12/31/02. It appears that this model ha all the bells and whistles currently available from diecasts by FM. These include not only the usual opening features, functional suspension and steerable wheels, but also a rotating driveshaft and adjustable windows. Additional goodies indispensable to the country-club set are a set of golf clubs, can of tennis balls, bag, and racket. To top it all off there is a pair of driving gloves in the glove box and a set of ignition keys on the dasboard. A removeable "up" top is also included. Thanks to member Pierre Siebert for the brochure information.

The silver European version differs from the blue example available here in the US in several ways. The silver Mercedes has a different front end, rear lights, and rear bumper. The issue price is $135. (03/06/2000)
