Description

A pair of die-cast metal model vans styled after the iconic first-generation Volkswagen Type 2 Transporter, frequently referred to as the VW Camper. The first model features a bespoke three-tone colour scheme of dark blue and metallic gold with a blue wave motif, decorated with Sunny Boy text and a yellow surfboard graphic; it carries a front registration plate reading HK 1993. The second model is finished in a classic two-tone light and dark blue livery with a registration plate reading 3 VWS 7. Both models are constructed with die-cast bodies and plastic components, featuring prominent silver-toned VW emblems to the front, along with matching bumpers and hubcaps. A notable design feature is the functional sliding side cargo door on each vehicle, which opens to reveal a cream-coloured interior with bench seating. These models represent the popular Samba and surf-culture aesthetic associated with the T1 bus. Length approximately 12 cm each.
