Mercedes-Benz 200 1968 Dark Red Brown 1:18

After years of the so-called ‘standardised body’ with its distinctive tail fins, the 114/115 series, affectionately known as the ‘/8’, brought very functional lines to Mercedes-Benz's mid-range cars. It was a success, with a good 1.9 million units of the robust ‘/8’ sold.

The dark red-brown paintwork (DB 460) in combination with the brown interior exudes the automotive taste of the late 1960s. Understated, elegant, tasteful – this undoubtedly applies to both the original and the model.
