Model: HO gauge. With this taxi, the suitcases disappeared under the front hood. The VW 411 cut an impressive figure as a taxi limousine, but the cab trade did not really want to exchange the Wolfsburg car with a rear engine for the Mercedes-Benz diesels that were omnipresent at the time. There wasn't enough space under the bonnet to stow the passengers' suitcases there, although the four-door car with the distinctive turn signals and rear lights offered adequate space for passengers. The 411 remained a rarity at German taxi stands, but it fits in effectively with the series of historic vehicles used by Wiking's cab guild.
