AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Miniature rally car, bright blue finish with a yellow front hood, reproduction of a competition vehicle featuring numerous sponsored markings. On the roof, the famous Michelin Bibendum is clearly visible, accompanied by the inscription "Michelin" on the right side and the "Pilot" logo on the hood and doors. The model features a compact four-door body, with a visible rear spoiler and dark tinted windows. Side markings include the number "1" and various additional logos, typical of 1990s-inspired rally models. The wheels are black, five-spoke, and the car displays a sporty style characteristic of iconic rally models.

The surface of the miniature shows visible signs of wear, with multiple paint chips, particularly on the edges of the hood, roof, and doors. The windshield and side windows are opaque, with no apparent transparency. Body details, such as the front bumper, spoiler, and mirrors, are molded into the mass. The overall decoration, with its blue and yellow hues and faithfully reproduced logos, evokes the golden age of international rally events.

The general style, advertising motifs, and typography evoke 1990s rally car models, a period when Michelin Pilot was a major sponsor in motorsports. The inscriptions are clearly legible, despite some areas altered by use. No manufacturer brand marking is legible in this view, but the design is clearly inspired by classic diecast models.

The model is presented on a white background, accentuating its colors and highlighting the patina of time. This retro miniature car is for anyone looking for an authentic piece from the rally era, with a lived-in look and iconic Michelin partnership decoration.

Condition

Did you know? Michelin has been a historical partner in rally racing, and Bibendum, which appeared in 1898, has become one of the most recognizable advertising mascots in the world.
