BRUMM #R118-03 1/43 1950 Porsche 356 Soft Top Speedster, Red with Black Roof

Description: NO RESERVE. 1/43 1950 Porsche 356 Soft Top Speedster in red with black roof and red interior. Note that Brumm first issued four each of five versions of the original Porsche 356 under the following part numbers. Also note that the year associated with each model as printed on the box - even within the different versions - can be either 1950 or 1952. R117 356 Open Top Speedster with Framed Windshield R117S 356 Open Top Speedster with Frameless Windshield R118 356 Speedster with Top Up R119 355 Coupe with Closed Sunroof R121 356 Coupe with Open Sunroof Numbers R120 and R120B were used for two racing versions of the 356 Coupe with the closed roof. Each of the four versions of R117 through R119 and R121 were further identified as -01 in White, -02 in Black, -03 in Red and -04 in Silver. As issued, all of the first releases of these models apparently came with entirely black interiors and were sold in golden yellow window boxes that were black on the left endflap which contained the Part Number and identified the model. A re-release of all of the models occurred in the late 1990s with the models being sold in glossy black window boxes the red lettering. Some of the models now contained red or grey front seats. At some point Brumm began releasing models of all five types in many colors that were never identified on their boxes and which were only sold under the basic R11X or R121 part numbers. As of the moment we are creating this listing, we have single examples of 30 different models of the five types at hand - and we intend to list them all over the next several days. We have sold the last examples of 4 or 5 other models of the types in other colors than the 30 we still have as we create this first listing. Many of the pictures we are using with this series of listings were taken in earlier formats we used from 1999 through 2002 when we were obtaining supplies of the various models to sell. Those we are now offering are single examples we set aside at that time to offer at a future date - which is what we are now doing. Took an updated picture of the model in August 2023. Diecast model. Brumm #R118-03. From the original release of the model in the golden yellow window box with the black left end flap. MIB.
