RARE Siku CLAAS Xerion 3000 Tractor 3553 – 1:32 Scale Dealer Box

🚜 An Early CLAAS Xerion in the Siku Range

The Siku CLAAS Xerion 3000, reference 3553, is a superb older 1:32 scale model of one of the most distinctive tractors CLAAS ever produced.

This example is particularly interesting because it comes in the CLAAS dealer presentation box, rather than the standard Siku retail packaging, making it a much nicer proposition for the dedicated CLAAS or Siku collector.

With its distinctive green and grey livery, four equal-sized wheels and unmistakable Xerion design, the 3000 has plenty of presence even amongst today's larger 1:32 scale tractors.

💚 CLAAS Dealer Box Version

The dealer box is an important part of this one and something I'd make prominent in the listing.

Dealer-packaged models were supplied through the manufacturer's dealer network and are particularly appealing to collectors who like the different presentation and manufacturer-branded packaging.

Combined with the fact that the Siku 3553 is now an older discontinued model, it makes this a very interesting piece for a CLAAS collection.

The Distinctive Xerion 3000

The real Xerion was anything but a conventional tractor, and Siku captured its unusual proportions particularly well.

The model features the large cab, four equal-sized agricultural tyres and substantial chassis that give the Xerion its instantly recognisable appearance.

It looks excellent displayed on its own but really comes into its own paired with a suitably substantial 1:32 scale cultivator or other period implement.
