Another localy built O302.
This one has been reduced as 1/87th scale model by AB-JoyToy (GR) in the 70/80's:

:wow: ...for two reasons:
- the company on the badge of the Greek made toy-bus was indeed authentic and it's still existing: http://www.komm-mit-reisen.net/
- last Saturday I saw a bus of them and the name stayed somehow

Quite normal ingo, this AB-Joytoy scale model had been ordered by german Dannhausen dealer as "promotional" gift for several real companies of the early 80's. This promotional items were available in shops with Praliné HO scale range. I did bought all the series available then:
Several "Reisen" companies, as this one... but also SAS Scandinavian, SWISSAIR ..etc and a PTT bus (picture is on my external Disk at home)
I sold all of them, except this one and the PTT, a long time ago.

:think: But it wasn't the same maker as for the promotional VW T2 ("Miele" etc.), or? They were in a quite bad quality, much poorer than CURSOR etc., so they didn't survive. Not even at me, where the most childhood-toys are still existing.
On collector-markets today they are quite expensive.

The Miele VW was made by the German make Hammer (they also had a huge range of buses and trucks, and 8 different car models that were placed on Fleischmann car transporter).

Edit: Sorry, my mistake... I used to have a Philips T1 by Hammer, and I confused it with the Miele T2... The Miele was made by jean (also made in Germany), I just checked:
