Very nice models, I'm surprised how much bigger the Mbx VW is, I guess the Efsi is maybe more like an HO scale then? |

Maybe the MB VW is a little oversized to start with? |

Very nice. I think a lot of people forget about the small series of cars that EFSI did - most are used to the Ford Model T's and the Commer Vans and such. The cars were always listed as being 1/66th scale - same as Schuco and Polistil Penny of the time. They are nice models and not seen all that often. |

I'm rather partial to the Ford T's, but I still get a kick out of other EFSI's when I run across them. |

Always a pleasure to see some Efsi cars. Thanks for sharing For the record, I believe the Matchbox VW 1600TL was officially scaled at 1/61, hence the larger dimensions compared to the 1/66 Efsi. |

Thanks. You figure with MB sharing wheels between castings, the scale would fluctuate a little. This comparison is also a reminder of how terrific Matchbox models were for their time, or even now. |

Efsi is smaller than schucco; mostly marked as 1:68 at forums. Very nice Efsi cars, thanks for sharing :-) Edited by HE-Man, Dec 20 2014, 10:19 AM.
