## Description

Oxford Diecast 1:148 VW Beetle Collectable model NVWB001 : desertcart.co.uk: Toys & Games

Review: Do not waste your money - Do not waste your money. I should have paid more notice of the scale of the model - it is the smallest model car I have ever seen - why would anyone bother making anything this small! Total utter rubbish
Review: Got a magnifying glass? then this is for you - Without a tape measure to compare an actual car I undersestimsted the size expecting the item to be at least one inch long. Alas it's barely visible in the box. I would estimate it's about the size of a woman's fingernail. The wheel base is also loose and the body of the car slides from left to right making the wheels disappear on one side and stick out on the other. The item was supposed to be a gift but I didn't send it on as it was just too small and I would have had to glue the wheelbase to fix it from moving about which I refuse to do. Apart from that it is painted well and looks like the Herbie beetle.

### ⭐ Tiny
*by J***T on 19 October 2020*

I ordered this for my son and took the trouble to google the size ratio. However I got it wrong and it is only a couple of centimetres long.
