A very interesting diecast and in a wonderful color scheme ! You posed and photographed this gem very well to show the diecast model off extremely well here.

Plus 1 to Mike, but what is it?

I had an Opel Kadette wagon in ‘73. It was a great economy car when the gas crunch hit.

That's so cool Ben, congrats!
I was unaware of this model nor that Minichamps even produced a 1/18 sealed-resin '68 Opel - it looks "bagged." 🤨 😎
Gotta love classic Opels though. Here's an early Minichamps (hence the dog-legs ) 1958 Opel Olympia Rekord P1 2-dr Sedan.
Your keen eyes will notice a "140mph speedo." With its anemic 1,488 cc (45hp ) I-4 engine, however, I doubt even 85mph was possible. 🙄 🙄
GM styling cues give this "little guy" loads of charm, and this chocolate color is a personal favorite. ❤️ ❤️
