Details:

Bring a true icon of German automotive engineering to your model railway or diorama with the WIKING Mercedes-Benz 200/8 in striking signal red. This finely detailed 1:87 (H0 scale) model represents the legendary “Strich-Acht” (Stroke-Eight), part of the Mercedes-Benz W114/W115 series that defined executive motoring from the late 1960s through the 1970s.

Faithfully recreated using WIKING’s original tooling, the model captures the unmistakable character of the Mercedes-Benz 200/8, including its clean, angular bodywork, upright headlamps, and classic chrome-framed grille. The bold signal red finish highlights its timeless saloon styling and makes it an excellent focal point for period road scenes.

Fine detailing includes accurately rendered chrome trim, Mercedes-Benz badging, door handles, and window surrounds. The model also features realistic wheels with period-style hubcaps, clear glazing, and finely reproduced lighting elements, ensuring a high level of authenticity despite its compact scale.

Perfect for 1960s–1970s model railway layouts, this saloon adds instant realism to town streets, railway station forecourts, garages, and rural roads. It works especially well in mixed traffic scenes where period vehicles help define the era and bring layouts to life with subtle historical accuracy.
