The name Horch is synonymous for highest quality and elegance in car manufacturing during the 1930s. Debuting in 1937, the type 853 was equipped with a 5-litre engine. This four-seater sports convertible became the preferred conveyance of industrialists, actors, and powerful politicians - aka High Society.
This is a limited edition of 200 in 1:12 scale.
Made of 0.6 mm copper plate, the hand-built body breaks new ground in model building. Body parts are shaped into forms one by one before they are soldered into a single piece. A product of unique technology, this buckling-resistant, highly-durable, and light-weight miniature brings model-making to an unprecedented level.
For this limited edition, no color-based paint is used, thus enabling the collector to view the charm of the expensive copper body in its own light. Only a clear protective coat is applied so that the shiny body will be radiant forever and look its best.
A masterfully replicated metal hinge-system allows the collector to open and close the cloth canopy as he wishes. It enhances the authenticity of the model and allows for two different ways of setting up the presentation of the model.
