Description

HERE I
AM OFFERI
NG
UP ANOTHER ONE OF MY SCHUCO VEHICLES. THIS ONE NEVER MADE IT TO MY DISPLAY IN MY OLD "MAN CAVE" AS THIS WAS/IS ONE OF MY NEWEST MODELS TO MY COLLECTION. THIS IS THEIR MODEL CAR (CLOCKWORK) WHICH THEY HAVE CALLED THEIR "SCHUCO-CLASSIC" LINE. THIS MODEL WAS MADE CIRCA 2000.
IT IS A STUDIO IV VERSION OF A BUGATTI.
I HAVE HAD THIS STASHED AWAY WITH A FEW HUNDRED (TO THOUSANDS) OR SO ADDITIONAL MODELS THAT I HAVE OWNED OR HAVE COLLECTED OVER THE PAST 5 PLUS DECADES.
I JUST RECENTLY RE~DISCOVERED ONE OF MY "LOST" BOXES AND THIS WAS ONE OF THE MODELS CONTAINED WITHIN IT... WELL BOTH ACTUALLY.
FOR A FACT, I KNOW THAT THIS SCHUCO WAS NEVER WOUND UNTIL THIS DAY THE 16TH OF DECEMBER! I GINGERLY REMOVED IT FROM IT'S PROTECTIVE INSERT AND FULLY TESTED IT. IT WAS SORT OF FUN TESTING THIS MODEL OUT.
IT'S A VERY SIMPLE CLOCKWORK DRIVE WITH A SINGLE SPEED IN THE FORWARD DIRECTION. THIS IS ONE OF THE MODELS THAT YOU CAN PUSH IT AROUND WITHOUT FEAR OF DAMAGING THE CLOCKWORK DRIVE. DECADES AGO, SCHUCO PIONEERED A UNIQUE DRIVE WHICH DISENGAGES WHEN THE CLOCKWORK TENSION IS NOT DETECTED. THIS ALLOWS YOU TO PUSH THIS VEHICLE IN ANY DIRECTION ONCE THE CLOCKWORK DRIVE IS SPENT (OR EXHAUSTED). I OPTED TO USE ANOTHER KEY THAT I HAVE ...LEAVING THIS ONE FULLY ORIGINAL AND UNUSED.
THE BODY ON THIS BUGATTI IS AS NEW. IT HAS NEVER LEFT THE PROTECTION OF IT'S BOX FOR ANY REASON OTHER THEN THE PICTURES SUPPLIED HERE AND IT'S INAUGURAL TESTING WHICH I JUST PERFORMED. THIS MODEL IS SCHUCO'S ITEM NUMBER:
01740
.
THE BODY IS BLUE WITH A RUST OR MAROON INTERIOR. THE CHASSIS IS AS NEW AND SHOULD BE AS THIS IS A TRUE NOS (NEW OLD STOCK) SCHUCO.
ALL OF THE TIRES ARE ROUND AND HAVE NO FLAT SPOTS, CRACKS OR SPLITS. THESE ARE DESIGNED TO BE REMOVABLE AND THE CENTER CAPS SCREW OFF WITH THE SUPPLIED WRENCH.
THE CHASSIS IS AS NEW.
THE BOX IS IN VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT ALL AROUND SHAPE/CONDITION WITH ONLY VERY MILD SHELF RASHING.
YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL KEY (CRANK ACTUALLY), STILL SEALED AND ATTACHED TO THE INNER PROTECTIVE SECTION (ONCE AGAIN, I USED ANOTHER KEY FOR IT'S TESTING) AND YOU ALSO HAVE THE ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS AND VEHICLE LIFT FOR USE WHEN YOU OPT TO REMOVE THE TIRES/WHEELS.
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL SCHUCO MODEL AND IS A RE-MANUFACTURED MODEL OF ONE THAT THEY PRODUCED ORIGINALLY BACK IN THE '50'S. THE SAME DIES AND TOOLS WERE USED. THE BIG DIFFERENCE IS THAT THIS ONE WORKS PERFECTLY AS THE SPRING MECHANISM HAS BEEN RETOOLED AND HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP TO DATE WITH SOME STRONGER MATERIALS. SO YOU HAVE A MUCH GREATER CHANCE OF NOT BEING ABLE TO OVER WINDING IT, THUS DISABLING IT'S CLOCKWORK ENGINE.
I TAKE PRIDE IN MY MODELS THAT I OFFER HERE IN THE E-BAY WORLD. I DO HAVE OPTIONS AND I CHOOSE TO OFFER ONLY THE VERY FINEST THAT I HAVE AVAILABLE. I TEST EVERYTHING PRIOR TO LISTING THEM AND ONCE AGAIN PRIOR TO SENDING THEM OFF. I DO THIS SO WE WILL BOTH BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE END RESULT, IT'S THE ONLY WAY I DO THINGS! THIS
SCHUCO
VEHICLE
WILL NOT NEED TO BE RE-TESTED AS I DO KNOW ITS WHOLE LIFE'S HISTORY AND I AM 100% SURE THAT YOU WILL BE VERY PROUD TO OWN THIS MODEL AND TO ADD IT TO YOUR COLLECTION.
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT
MY
PICTURES AS THESE DO BECOME AN IMPORTANT PART OF MY DESCRIPTION AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR DESIRE ADDITIONAL PICTURES, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME VIA E-BAY MESSAGING AND I WILL DO THE REST!
