Yes it is a Tekno, those wheel hubs give it away

I dont usually buy tin but for £25 this Schuco 1950s set was worth having..........

Great find Mick.
If I'm not mistaken it is spring driven like the matchbox motorway, and tinplate, Hmmmm.
It must make one heck of a noise when everything is set in motion, If you get a chance set it up and get some pics, I can't be the only one who would like to see it working.

It is a spring very much like the Matchbox motorway, a design which came from Germany i believe! I will try to find space this week to see if it is complete.........

That US police car is nice. My example needs upgrading but they're quite thin on the ground. The 2CV is lovely as well. I remember buying that Siku lorry new in Germany - I really liked the recycling containers it came with!
