My friend Christian found a cool, small roundabout with WIKING Cars in Scale 1 : 40 at the Mannheim Swap Meet. This roundabout was small display in the 1960s for Volkswagen dealers. I remember, that there is the same in Great Britain, I read an article about this in an old issue of the Volksword Magazine. But which issue was it? Does anybody have pictures of it? Questions over questions... Thanks for your help.

When I saw the title "VW Roundabout" I thought for a minute you were talking about my VW Club! :wink: There are thousands of roundabouts in Milton Keynes UK and quite a few VWs as well!

I can probably find a picture of it, i'll try. I seem to remember seeing a picture of it on the back of a book, maybe Original VW Bus by Lawrence Meridith?

I can remember reading about it. Can't remember which issue it was featured in, but it is now owned by Ivan McCutcheon (Volksworld editor).

Here is the picture of Christian's roundabout. Note the original carpets behind the toy cars. We think, that some of the wiking-cars are not the same, which were placed there when it was new. Maybe, the Volkswagen dealer put them on displey, when the new Volkswagen modells came on the marked. [ATTACH]101[/Attach]
