AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Miniature Formula 1 racing car, presented in its original blister pack, from a limited edition "Elf Compétition". The model shown in the photo is bright blue with white and black markings, and several "elf" logos distinctly printed on the rear and front wings. The number "2" is clearly visible on the front of the vehicle, reinforcing the competitive aspect of the model.

The bodywork features a lacquered blue finish, typical of promotional reproductions from the 1980s-1990s. The entire piece is molded as a single unit, with an open cockpit, simplified details, and no driver. The four black wheels are integral with the base and visible under the transparent plastic packaging, allowing the appreciation of the elongated and aerodynamic shape characteristic of classic F1 cars.

The packaging is perfectly preserved, with a cardboard card in blue, white, and red, adorned with a large "elf" logo and the mention "SÉRIE LIMITÉE" (LIMITED EDITION) in the upper left. The inscription "Les plus belles voitures de course Elf" (The most beautiful Elf racing cars) clearly appears below the main logo. The mention "échelle 1/53" (scale 1/53) is printed in the upper right, in accordance with the keywords provided.

This old toy is typical of promotional miniatures distributed as part of advertising campaigns, particularly by Elf, an iconic brand in French motor sports. Its retro look and presentation in its original blister pack make it a display or collector's item.

Condition

Second-hand item sold as is, in a sealed blister pack. The packaging and the car appear very clean, with no visible defects on the exposed side. The colors remain vibrant and the inscriptions perfectly legible.
