Traum-Modell meiner Kindheit. Nach sechzig Jahren steht der LOTUS endlich in meiner Vitrine.
This is a great model which brings back memories. I never had it as a child but a kid I knew did. Its a great representation of the origional , though I didn't wind the handle with any strength so I don't know if it replicates the musical tune its supposed to. I got mine tgrough the shop I believe at full price as there was some confusion as to its place in the collection at the time I saw it. It wasn't listed as a club members release and wasn't offered as a shop exclusive so I wasn't sure who was eligible to get it or if I didn’t buy it as a member of the general public that it might never be available as a club member.
However it's a fantastic model and am glad to see it's sister model with figures on the members listing. I hope the other ice cream vans are available for those long hot summers ahead
