✎ Short description:

Yellow Schuco diecast model depicting the distinctive BMW Isetta 250 microcar in a scale of approximately 1:38. The model has a black chassis, black tyres and an opening front door.

▣ Full description:

The Schuco BMW Isetta 250 diecast model is a small-scale replica of the iconic microcar, made from a combination of metal and plastic. The body is finished in yellow paint, which emphasises the vehicle's rounded shape, tall cabin and short, compact proportions characteristic of the Isetta. At the front is a functional opening door, also the car's most recognisable feature. The model has a black chassis plate and black tyres, contrasting with the light-coloured body. Basic construction details of the microcar are also visible, such as rounded wings, small windows and a compact cabin. The length of approximately 60 mm corresponds to a scale close to 1:38. This example is offered as a loose collectible model, without packaging, in the condition described as Loose.

✦ Design and theme:

A classic European microcar from the post-war motoring era, reproduced in the style of a collectible model from the 1980s. The subject is the BMW Isetta 250, distinguished by its short body, tall cabin and front-opening door system.

❖ Collector information:

The model dates from production in the 1980s and was made in Germany. Its notable detail is the opening front door used on this distinctive car. The example has no catalogue number or specified series. The Loose condition means that the model has been stored outside its packaging, with possible signs of use or storage.

★ Collector value:

This model may interest collectors of German motoring, microcars and Schuco miniatures from the 1980s. It is particularly relevant to those collecting unusual car designs and models fitted with moving parts. The value of the example is determined primarily by the preservation of the yellow paint, the completeness of the chassis, the condition of the tyres and the functionality of the front door.

✋ Notes on purchase:

Used, collectible diecast model; after restoration it is like new (without a box, unless a box is shown in the photos). We restore models with 3D-printed replacements for missing parts and special paints made for restoring model cars. If the model shows signs of use, it has been intentionally left partly unrestored to keep its individual vintage character. The photos show the actual condition of the model.

The date given in the title or description is not always the date the casting was made. It may refer to the design of the model, the first casting series or the production of the real car. We give the dates the manufacturer states on the base. If in doubt, check all information against the photo of the base of the model.
