658 Volkswagen Van

A new and sealed 1:87 12 Cars is currently valued at around $2,246, with annual growth of approximately 9%. The average used price is $2,145 for those in good overall condition. Based on current trends, this set could be valued near $2,438 within the next year.

1:87 12 Cars (698-2) 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 $2,245.86 may understate its true worth, assuming one can even be found for sale. Since this set was released in 1965, 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 12 Cars at this time.

Insights

Released and retired as part of the Classic theme, 1:87 12 Cars is a mid-1960s HO vehicle gift box whose limited Continental Europe release and brief production run left sealed examples scarce, and its lineup of recognisable VW, Mercedes and Citroën subjects draws cross-collector interest while trading remains thin and condition-sensitive.

Set Facts

The set is a gift box of 12 HO 1:87 scale vehicles, released in 1965 exclusively in Continental Europe, excluding the UK.
It includes a random assortment of vehicles such as the Morris Marina 1100, Citroën DS19, VW Beetle, Fiat 1800, Mercedes 190SL, Mercedes 220S, VW Van, VW Pickup, VW 1500, and Ford Taunus 17M.
Some models are included in duplicates, such as two Citroën DS19s and two VW Pickups, with variations in color and base designs.
The set was only released only in Continental Europe and not in the United Kingdom.
