The Opel Senator A2, a Symbol of German Renewal
Launched in 1978 and restyled in 1982 to give birth to the A2 version, the Opel Senator marked Opel's ambition to conquer the luxury sedan segment. This second generation, produced until 1986, benefited from significant aesthetic and technical improvements, making it a credible alternative to the BMWs and Mercedes of the time.
The Senator A2 stood out with its elegant lines and robustness, qualities that quickly made it the preferred choice of administrations and public services across Europe. Its solid chassis and reliable engine made it a vehicle perfectly suited for specialized conversions, especially for emergency medical services like the German Notarzt system.
With its generous dimensions and spacious interior, the Senator A2 offered the necessary space for the installation of medical equipment while maintaining excellent road performance, critical criteria for emergency interventions.
Opel in the 80s: Innovation and Diversification
In the early 1980s, Opel was undergoing a transformation under General Motors. The German brand sought to reposition itself in the European market by developing a comprehensive range, from the small Corsa to the prestigious Senator. This strategy aimed to directly compete with premium German manufacturers while maintaining the characteristic accessibility of the brand.
The production period of this Senator A2 Notarzt corresponds to Opel's golden age in terms of technological innovation and manufacturing quality. The brand invested heavily in research and development, particularly in safety and reliability, essential attributes to appeal to professional fleets and European public services.
The Notarzt System, a German Medical Revolution
The term "Notarzt" designates in the German medical system the emergency doctor who intervenes directly at the scene of an accident or medical emergency. This concept, developed in the 1960s in Germany, revolutionized emergency care in Europe. Unlike Anglo-Saxon systems that prioritize rapid transport to the hospital, the German approach focuses on early medical intervention on-site.
Notarzt vehicles, including this Opel Senator, were equipped with sophisticated medical equipment and driven by specially trained drivers. These transformed sedans roamed the German highways and roads, ready to respond in just minutes. The Opel Senator, with its reputation for reliability and road performance, naturally took on this crucial role.
This medical approach had a lasting influence on the organization of emergency services in Europe and explains why these specialized intervention vehicles hold a special place in automotive history. They embody a time when the automobile served the public interest directly, far beyond its mere transportation function.

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.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
