No Duplicates, Plenty of Variety

The more popular and well-known a full-size vehicle is, the more model car manufacturers reproduce it in miniature. The numerous versions of the Citroën 2CV alone – affectionately known in Germany as the “Ente” (“Duck”) – could fill an entire wall.

Collector Rolf Rüth, however, makes a point of avoiding duplicates. Although several versions of the 2CV are on display, the collection focuses on presenting as comprehensive a picture as possible of the automotive world from 1945 onwards.

This is what makes the collection special. Many collectors will be familiar with the challenge of having to pass up yet another colour or design variation simply because there is not enough space.
