The Maxichamps are reissues of the older Minichamps made years ago. I think the Karmann casting is 20-25 years old. They did a convertible top up version that I would like to find one day.

Original 1:40 plastic Karmann Ghias by Wiking. These were used as dealer promos, but some found their way to hobby shops selling their HO-scale vehicles for train layouts. The coupe has a lift-off body.
