Norev's 1:18 diecast Mercedes 200 W115 Taxi reproduces the classic German saloon in its familiar taxi livery, with opening doors and bonnet for cabin and engine bay inspection. A characterful piece for a vintage German motoring or service-vehicle display.
TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Mercedes 200 W115 Taxi reproduces the 1960s German saloon in its familiar cream taxi livery, with opening doors and bonnet on a zinc alloy body. A distinctive service-vehicle piece for a vintage Mercedes or European taxi collection.
Few subjects carry as much everyday nostalgia as a German taxi from the 1960s, and Norev's diecast W115 captures that specific slice of motoring history rather than a sporting or luxury variant.
Diecast Build with Opening Doors and Bonnet
The zinc alloy body gives this saloon genuine heft, the kind of density that makes a diecast taxi feel substantial compared with a lighter resin equivalent, and that weight suits a subject meant to be handled and examined closely. The doors and bonnet open, revealing the cabin trim and engine bay detail, a practical feature for a car whose taxi specification often included distinctive interior fittings worth showing off. Diecast tolerances at the hinge points run slightly wider than a sealed resin body would allow, a normal trade for the durability metal construction provides. The cream livery typical of German taxis of this era should show even, consistent colour across the bonnet and roof, with the roof sign or taxi markings, where present, registered cleanly against the paint.
The W115 as a Slice of 1960s German Motoring
The W115 generation formed the backbone of Mercedes' mid-range saloon output through the late 1960s and into the 1970s, and its widespread use as a taxi across German cities made it one of the most commonly seen Mercedes models of its era on ordinary streets. That everyday ubiquity is precisely what gives a taxi-liveried W115 its collecting appeal, representing period motoring life rather than an aspirational flagship.
Building a Vintage Service Vehicle Display
This taxi sits naturally beside other service and emergency vehicle replicas, or within a themed 1960s German motoring shelf. Open the doors occasionally to show the cabin trim, and keep the cream paintwork away from strong light to preserve its tone.
