ITEM DESCRIPTION:

SCHUCO MERCEDES BENZ C 111 BATTERY OPERATED N MINT IN BOX WESTERN GERMANY WORKS. Here is a beautiful Schuco Mercedes Benz C111 # 5508 in the box. Late 60's early 70's. The car is plastic. It was a concept car that was never put into production. When working the car does the following: Turn it on and it goes frontwards or backwards. Wheels stop turning when lifted, this is by design. The steering wheel actually turns the wheels. It has gullwing doors that raise up and down. The headlights go on when you raise the drivers side door and push in the lever raising the headlights. The car is about as mint as can be, no cracks or breaks. The Schuco tires and caps are excellent. The windshield is in nice condition. Both doors open as well as the trunk for the batteries. You MUST use new strong fresh "C" batteries like Duracell. I actually used Energizer Ultimate Lithium "AA" batteries and they worked fantastic. Made in Western Germany as all the great Schuco vehicles of the past were made. The box has some light wear, no end flaps missing. The car in 10.50 inches long. A hard car to find in this condition. Please ask any questions that you may have. Thank you, Dave (Note: please check out my other toys)
