The customs officers asked for the invoice and checked the contents of the van. That was to be expected. After stepping over the boxes on the sill, one of the officers lifted the lid of the first cardboard box.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>I noticed that the first thing he was trying to do was date these model vehicles: were they recent or of older manufacture, as declared? He simply wanted to know where the product he was holding was made.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>Seeing the &#8220;made in Nederland&#8221; (made in the Netherlands), he realized that the product wasn&#8217;t recent! \u2026for over 25 years, almost all model vehicles have been made in China.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>He looked at several other models and quickly conceded that they were indeed older and that this matched what had been declared. He then made a remark that made me smile: &#8220;You can tell by the weight that it&#8217;s quality!&#8221;<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>Did he mean that this type of product was worth a certain price?<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>The customs officer was right; when these Lion Car, Conrad, or Tekno miniatures came out in the mid-seventies, they weren&#8217;t exactly affordable for everyone. However, I explained to him that nowadays, on the secondhand market, one has to be reasonable.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>I&#8217;ve often heard the correlation between the weight of an object, synonymous with quality, and its high price during my career. When I got home, I amused myself by weighing a Lion Car semi-trailer truck\u2026almost a kilo!<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>And that&#8217;s when I realized that my rental van must be exceeding the maximum authorized weight limit\u2026<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>The two splendid Scania 76 tarpaulin-covered trucks and their trailer from Tekno were part of the day&#8217;s load, like the other scheduled Tekno trucks.<\/div>\n\t<div id=\"stack-2483008724\" class=\"stack stack-row justify-start items-stretch\">\n\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"box has-hover   has-hover box-text-bottom\" >\n\n\t\t<div class=\"box-image\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"\" >\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/universautojaune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Tekno-Scania-76-ridelles-bache-avec-remorque-N.C-Kloster-450451.jpg\" class=\"attachment- size-\" alt=\"Tekno - Scania 76 ridelles ba\u0302che\u0301 avec remorque N.C Kloster 450:451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/universautojaune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Tekno-Scania-76-ridelles-bache-avec-remorque-N.C-Kloster-450451.jpg 800w, https:\/\/universautojaune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Tekno-Scania-76-ridelles-bache-avec-remorque-N.C-Kloster-450451-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/universautojaune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Tekno-Scania-76-ridelles-bache-avec-remorque-N.C-Kloster-450451-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"box-text text-center\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"box-text-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\n<h4>mod\u00e8le en vente cette semaine : Tekno &#8211; Scania 76 ridelles ba\u0302che\u0301 avec remorque N.C Kloster 450:451<\/h4>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#stack-2483008724 > * {\n  --stack-gap: 0rem;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"stack-4214794681\" class=\"stack stack-row justify-start items-stretch\">\n\t\t\n\n\t<div id=\"text-2293033504\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\n\n<div>In the mid-1960s, buying this type of product for one&#8217;s children was a sign of financial comfort.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>The weight, the quality of the paintwork, the assembly, and the finish were enough to convince the buyer of the product&#8217;s quality. The selling price was justified.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>I think this Scania 76 is the first miniature truck to have an opening part (here, the engine hood, and its reproduction).<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>These two very beautiful and rare versions are from the beginning of production. They were not intended for export, but for the Scandinavian market. This doesn&#8217;t mean, however, that a few examples weren&#8217;t sold in French, Belgian, or Swiss shops.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>Indeed, I know that some shops, like Modelisme of course, but also Miniatures in Lyon, and a few others, sold this type of product at very high prices, reserved, of course, for collectors.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>Shortly after, Solido officially imported these products, but in the classic Scania Vabis livery. The price was so high that Tekno sold the truck and trailer separately.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>Towards the end of the story, Tekno printed a large display box and sold both items together.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>However, we had moved on to the version with the &#8220;110&#8221; marking on the hood, and the two variations offered were no longer in the catalog, and had been for a long time. One last point to convince you of the product&#8217;s quality.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>The &#8220;ASG&#8221; livery version is equipped with yellow-painted rims. This must have caused problems, because Tekno never offered this &#8220;high-end&#8221; finish again.<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#stack-4214794681 > * {\n  --stack-gap: 0rem;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"stack-575001189\" class=\"stack stack-row justify-start items-stretch\">\n\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"box has-hover   has-hover box-text-bottom\" >\n\n\t\t<div class=\"box-image\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"\" >\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/universautojaune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Tekno-Scania-76-ridelles-bache-avec-remorque-ASG-450.jpg\" class=\"attachment- size-\" alt=\"Tekno - Scania 76 ridelles ba\u0302che\u0301 avec remorque ASG 450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/universautojaune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Tekno-Scania-76-ridelles-bache-avec-remorque-ASG-450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/universautojaune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Tekno-Scania-76-ridelles-bache-avec-remorque-ASG-450-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/universautojaune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Tekno-Scania-76-ridelles-bache-avec-remorque-ASG-450-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"box-text text-center\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"box-text-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\n<h4>mod\u00e8le en vente cette semaine :Tekno &#8211; Scania 76 ridelles ba\u0302che\u0301 avec remorque ASG 450<\/h4>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#stack-575001189 > * {\n  --stack-gap: 0rem;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"gap-82893187\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-82893187 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<div>We also have a version of the same truck equipped with two slings designed for transporting cement.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>My friend Geoff Goodson showed me a whole series of photos of this type of vehicle equipped like this on Scandinavian roads.

The value for money was exceptional, as we were dealing with a product that was practically handcrafted.

In the mid-sixties, buying this type of product for one&#8217;s children was a sign of financial comfort. The weight, the quality of the paintwork, the assembly, and the finish were enough to convince the buyer of the product&#8217;s quality. The selling price was justified. I believe this Scania 76 is the first miniature truck to have an opening part (here, the engine hood, and its reproduction). These two very beautiful and rare versions are from the beginning of production. They were not intended for export, but for the Scandinavian market. This doesn&#8217;t mean, however, that a few examples weren&#8217;t sold in French, Belgian, or Swiss shops. Indeed, I know that some shops, like Modelisme of course, but also Miniatures in Lyon, and a few others, had this type of product for sale at very high prices, reserved, of course, for collectors. Shortly after, Solido officially imported these products, but in the classic Scania Vabis livery. The price was so high that Tekno sold the truck and trailer separately. Towards the end, Tekno printed a large display box and sold both items together. But we had switched to the version with the &#8220;110&#8221; marking on the hood, and the two variations offered were no longer in the catalog, and had been for a long time. One last point to convince you of the product&#8217;s quality: the &#8220;ASG&#8221; livery version is equipped with yellow-painted rims. This must have caused problems, because Tekno never offered this &#8220;high-end&#8221; finish again. We also have a version of the same truck planned, equipped with two cement-carrying jugs. My friend Geoff Goodson showed me a whole series of photos of these types of vehicles equipped like this on Scandinavian roads. I had no idea that this type of truck could pull a trailer like that. Just imagine the size of the convoy! It&#8217;s a shame Tekno didn&#8217;t think to reproduce this type of trailer. Finally, we also have a superb Scania 75 rigid truck with a tarpaulin cover in Firma Transporten colors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12412,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[3263,3264,3265,3266,3267,3268,3269,3270,3271,3272,3273,3274,3275],"class_list":["post-12525","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-autojaune-universe","tag-cherryca-phenix-cadillac-62-special-20-en","tag-cherryca-phenix-chevrolet-impala-berline-5-en","tag-cherryca-phenix-citroen-ds19-cabriolet-19-en","tag-lansdowne-models-hillman-minx-1956-10-en","tag-lansdowne-models-vauxhall-pc-viscount-1971-38-en","tag-lansdowne-models-vauxhall-ventora-mkii-1972-32-en","tag-mercury-japon-fiat-682n-porte-auto-solo-en","tag-polistil-lanciaesadelta-semi-porte-autos-tj119-en","tag-politoys-fiat-682n-tracteur-semi-porte-auto-221-en","tag-tekno-scania-76-porteur-avec-cuves-ciment-scania-vabis-453-en","tag-tekno-scania-76-ridelles-bache-avec-remorque-asg-450-en","tag-tekno-scania-76-ridelles-bache-avec-remorque-n-c-kloster-450-451-en","tag-tekno-scania-76-ridelles-bache-firma-transporten-450-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>At the Folkestone border crossing - Univers Autojaune<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The two splendid Scania 76 canvas-covered rigid trucks and their trailers from Tekno were part of that day&#039;s shipment, along with the other Tekno models scheduled.

In the mid-sixties, buying this type of product for one's children was a sign of financial comfort. The weight, the quality of the paintwork, the assembly, and the finish were enough to convince the buyer of the product's quality. The selling price was justified. I believe this Scania 76 is the first miniature truck to have an opening part (here, the engine hood, and its reproduction). These two very beautiful and rare versions are from the beginning of production. They were not intended for export, but for the Scandinavian market. This doesn't mean, however, that a few examples weren't sold in French, Belgian, or Swiss shops. Indeed, I know that some shops, like Modelisme of course, but also Miniatures in Lyon, and a few others, had this type of product for sale at very high prices, reserved, of course, for collectors. Shortly after, Solido officially imported these products, but in the classic Scania Vabis livery. The price was so high that Tekno sold the truck and trailer separately. Towards the end, Tekno printed a large display box and sold both items together. But we had switched to the version with the \"110\" marking on the hood, and the two variations offered were no longer in the catalog, and had been for a long time. One last point to convince you of the product's quality: the \"ASG\" livery version is equipped with yellow-painted rims. This must have caused problems, because Tekno never offered this \"high-end\" finish again. We also have a version of the same truck planned, equipped with two cement-carrying jugs.
