AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage 45 rpm vinyl record features a picture sleeve with a photograph of a Peugeot 205 Turbo 16, an iconic rally car, on a desert track. The sleeve displays the title "the Lion in the Desert" in handwritten black letters on a sand-colored background, with a layout characteristic of the 80s-90s. A red sticker is affixed to the lower right corner, containing various printed information, visible on the front face. The visual highlights the rally-raid atmosphere, with the car covered in sponsors (Michelin, Pioneer, Peugeot Talbot Sport) and equipped for adventure.

The record is referenced in the upper left under the code "2CT08-01248". The mention "by LORD and CO." appears at the bottom of the sleeve. The ensemble clearly evokes a promotional or commemorative object related to the world of rally, probably issued for an event or in homage to the performance of the Peugeot 205 in African races.

The visible side of the sleeve shows beige and sand nuances, with glossy reflections typical of period lamination or varnish. Traces of wear, marked creases, and slight handling marks are also visible, signs of a used object that has lived.

The typography, automotive iconography, and general graphics are in line with the retro and sporty trend of 1980s-1990s productions. No precise details about the musical content are visible on this side, but the mention "45 rpm" in the keywords confirms the vinyl single format, popular for special editions or thematic rally music.

This vinyl record, with its strong imagery on the sleeve, will be perfect for wall decoration or display on a shelf, especially in an automotive-themed interior, garage, or vintage space. It may also appeal to lovers of retro design or souvenirs related to the Paris-Dakar Rally and the Peugeot 205 T16.
