Wiking 026702 H0 Car Mercedes Benz Mobile home 207 D "James Cook"

It was the glory days of the camp expert Westfalia from Rheda-Wiedenbrück, when the James Cook was created on the Mercedes-Benz transporter T1 chassis. The name James Cook, which dates back to the 18 th century by the famous sailor, was supposed to become a synonym for a legendary van conversion – the camper-era had formulated new demands. This large model was developed by Westfalia on a Mercedes-Benz chassis in 1977. It was the first mobile home that combined a wet cell and a hard roof extension. Driven by its reputation, the James Cook should pave the way for a new generation of modern vans. The first James Cook was built in 1977 by Westfalia on the new Mercedes-Benz TN/T1 series. In 1976, the Westfalia Design Office developed the first sketches of a van with a raised roof and a revolutionary floor plan. For Westfalia, it was a real turnaround in time, because after years of legendary cooperation with Volkswagen and its famous mobile homes on T1 and T2 chassis, Mercedes-Benz turned to the first time. With the James Cook a new generation of mobile homes was created with comfort and safety. WAS distinguished him at first glance, was his elevated roof, reaching a height of 3.10 m and allowing a walk-in interior height of 2.20 m. With its family-suitable habitation, the James Cook (5.24 m) was to become a favorite companion for frequent travellers.
