Besides this red beauty, I have 3-4 other Texi's, so I thought that I would make some room in my home office. I might list another after this auction is over. But anyway, I have this toy to offer you. It is nearly flawless. Only a few tiny, light scratches. Rather difficult to see, you gotta hold the car just right, and in good lighting. You know? most sellers would not have even mentioned the scratches, they are that insignificant. The bottom plate is flawless. The red body is dent an...d ding free. No rust or corrosion. The wind up motor is strong, and the toy functions at 100% as designed. If you put the car in automatic mode, it will move forward then stop. The blond driver will shift into reverse while turning her head to the side while backing up. A very ingenious mechanism for the 1960's. The toy looks nearly perfect, and functions perfectly. Also included is an original box in decent condition. 3 day auction with no reserve price, so if you have always wanted a Schuco Texi to add to your collection, but didn't feel like paying $1000-$1500 (or more) for one, here you go. Don't procrastinate, or you will lose out...On Jul-07-19 at 09:48:33 PDT, seller added the following information:I just noticed that a few of the pictures for this listing are slightly out of focus.
