CLAAS MODL COMBINES
Matchbox-K9-CLASS Combine Harvast
CLAAS, a European company, has been producing combines for 90 years. As a leading manufacturer, CLASS has pioneered many important combine developments.
Over 60 different toys and models have been produced of the combines that CLAAS has developed during its history. By the early 1960s, demand for higher performance machines from farmers resulted in CLAAS launching the Giant Matador. It had a 87 hp six cylinder engine and 3.0 metre wide table. Lesney was the first toy manufacturer to produce a model of this combine. Like Lesney’s Massey Ferguson 780 it was sold as part of the King Size series. The toy had ground-driven reel and movable unloading auger to improve its play value. It had CLAAS decals and was produced in two basic colours – green, and red, not a CLAAS colour. I have only green model.

The first Land Rover was designed in 1948 in the United Kingdom by Maurice Wilks, chief designer at the British car company Rover on his farm in Newborough, Anglesey. It is said that he was inspired by an American World War II Jeep that he used one summer at his holiday home in Wales. The first Land Rover prototype 'centre steer' was built on a Jeep chassis. A distinctive feature is their bodies, constructed of a lightweight rustproof proprietary alloy of aluminium and magnesium called Birmabright. This material was used owing to post war steel shortages and a plentiful supply of post-war aircraft aluminium. This metal's resistance to corrosion was one of the factors that allowed the vehicle to build up a reputation for longevity in the toughest conditions. It is reckoned that 75% of all those ever built are still in use.
