Vat Inc. €38.95 The Wartburg was a product of the IFA, a nationalized group of Democratic Germany. An evolution of the previous IFA F9, which was the GDR version of a 1940 DKW prototype, the Wartburg was built in the ex-BMW factories in Eisenach. The name Wartburg had been used from 1899 to 1903 for the first cars produced in Eisenach. The 311 model, marketed since 1955, had a 900cc engine and was available with a 4-door sedan, 2+2 coupé, 4-seater coupé, 4-seater cabriolet and estate bodywork. The further development, the 312 model, had an engine increased to 992cc. Production of the 311/312 ceased in 1966.

The Danhausen company of Aachen, Germany, began producing its own series of handcrafted 1:43 models under the names Metal 43, Plumbies, SD Models and Minichamps in 1974. Between 1976 and 1990, AMR produced over 70 different Minichamps models for Danhausen. The mass production of highly detailed die-cast model cars, marketed under the name Minichamps, began in China in 1990 and marked a real revolution in the field of model making, with high quality products at extremely competitive prices. Minichamps models are developed in Germany, but production and assembly takes place in the Far East. In less than ten years Minichamps practically became the reference in the diecast sector. In 2004 the first resin miniatures were introduced. Over the years other scales have been developed significantly, including 1:18. The Maxichamps range, which includes affordable reissues of older Minichamps items, was introduced in 2016.
