I went to see old friends in Denmark recently - but also had to see some newer collector-friends there as well. Mick, one of them, knows I like Alfas and Tekno/Vilmer (Denmark) so he had these waiting for me. A second Alfasud Sprint from Mebetoys Italy (I had forgotten I already had a red one, oh well), plus a Swedish edition Vilmer Mercedes-Benz L1113, around 1/50 scale. The red/white safety stripes are unusual on Vilmer trucks but look original to me.
My new Tekno items were limited but very unique. Stay tuned! The Alfa is late 1970s; the Mercedes 1960s... both contemporary to the real machines! 😎Â

Extremely nice haul, Karl ! Yep, those colors on that hard-working and very attractive truck are Swedish flag colors, aren't they ?

My Mom's side of the family was Swedish.
