275-2 1:87 VW Van was a HO 1:87 scale vehicle set released in 1956. This versions was released only in Denmark, Norway and Sweden. In 1956 the first 1:87 scale car was produced. It was a VW Bus, and was known as 275 in northern Europe and 258 in central Europe. Lego advertising showed windows, but Lego VW buses did not have clear windows until the early 1960’s.

The VW Van came in a number of colors with usually one color on top and the other on the bottom. Some colors include Yellow/Green, Blue/White, White/Red, Red/Yellow and many more, over 25 known variations. Based on current trends, this set could be valued near $424 within the next year.
1:87 VW Van (275-2) is an exceptionally old and rare LEGO set. It has not been available online or in retail stores in good/new condition for over 2 years. Due to its rarity, the estimated value in sealed condition of $391.46 may understate its true worth, assuming one can even be found for sale. Since this set was released in 1956, finding it sealed and well-preserved is exceptionally difficult—making complete sets with intact boxes museum-grade collectibles.
There are currently no new/sealed listings available for 1:87 VW Van at this time.
