Official Mercedes Supplier - R230 SL Diecast: Minichamps or Maisto?

Post by SilverSpear » Thu Jun 09, 2022 10:48 am

Hey guys,

I know NOREV did not supply the R230 to Mercedes as it is usually the case.
Who did it for that model? Minichamps or Maisto or another?

Thanks
Danny

The R230 came out so long ago, that I don't remember there being an "official supplier."

Minichamps only did the early SL500 with base rims, but it did have a working top.
Maisto did both the early SL500, SL55 & facelifted SL550 & SL63/65.
