What are some of the brands for model volkswagens,that are rare or vintage.Or just a good brand.I am wanting to start collecting.And keeping my eyes open for the rare brands for bargains would be a good start.Any input would be appreciated.
Regards Jason.

Minichamp make both 1/43 and 1/18 scale, Sunstar make 1/18 and 1/12, have a look on ebay for these and others like vintess, solido.

Minichamps are nice diecasts. 1/43 and 1/18th scale. Collecting these is bloody addictive tho.

There are hundreds of vintage diecast manufacturers which made model VW's, the truly rare ones don't generally come up for sale often
and when they do can sell for hundreds $$$ , much more with original boxes and paperwork.
Some good vintage diecast models were made by Dinky, Matchbox, Corgi, Schuco, Marklin, Tekno, Siku, Politoys etc,
There are thousands out there, especially beetles. Most are making new models now aswell, so I would recommend some research on some of the private VW collector sites for model and price guides.

does anyone know of any vw collectors in Australia?
websites?

Find an early matchbox beach bomb kombi with the surf boards in the side. Start there and then stop, worth a fortune. volma1
