AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description Miniature race prototype car, identifiable as a MATRA Simca 670B from the inscriptions visible on the bodywork. This model features a vivid blue finish, adorned with numerous decorative details typical of racing cars, including several "Shell" and "MATRA 670B", "MATRA SIMCA" logos, as well as race numbers ("4"). The model also features stickers depicting flags and sponsors, enhancing the authenticity of the racing style.

The upper part of the miniature reveals a molded silver engine, positioned at the rear of the open cockpit, characteristic of 1970s endurance prototypes. The black rear wheels are significantly wider and more prominent than the front, accentuating the model's competitive appearance. The open cockpit is visible, with no apparent glazing in the provided photo.

The blue paint shows visible signs of wear, particularly on the central white area and around exposed areas, revealing the patina of time. The original stickers are partially intact, some showing signs of scuffs or missing pieces, especially on the hood. The overall decoration remains faithful to the spirit of Matra racing models of that era.

The side and front inscriptions ("MATRA 670B", "Shell", "MATRA SIMCA", racing logos) are clearly legible in the photo. The molded details, such as air intakes and aerodynamic elements, are faithful to the aesthetics of French sports prototypes of the 70s. The elongated and low shape, combined with the dominant blue and black wheels, reinforces the vintage and authentic character of this piece.
