KVS: A bold French brand
KVS (Konstruktion Véhicules Spéciaux) established itself as an atypical French brand in the automotive landscape of the 1980s. Founded with the ambition of creating innovative and accessible vehicles, the brand developed an original approach to automotive design, favoring efficiency and simplicity .
The history of KVS is part of the movement of independent French manufacturers who, in the early 1980s, attempted to offer alternatives to the major established manufacturers. The brand distinguished itself by its desire to create practical and economical vehicles, meeting the new expectations of a changing society. This philosophy is perfectly embodied in the Mini 1, which concentrated all the expertise and vision of its creators.
Despite its relatively brief existence, KVS left a lasting mark on French automotive history, testifying to the creativity and audacity of independent manufacturers during this pivotal era.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.

What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
