Tintin Car N°8-The Thom(p)son’s 2CV

A booklet, in French and English, accompanies the car providing detailed information about the vehicle that inspired Hergé and the creation of The Calculus Affair adventure and much more!

It was at the 1948 Paris Motor Show that the 2CV was launched in front of incredulous specialists. From the outset, this car with its improbable grey appearance, made of thin sheet metal, springs and which had canvas seats, left the audience perplexed. But very quickly, smirks and jokes gave way to approval.

So Hergé chose the 2CV, but not just any 2CV. It was perhaps from the leaflet distributed at the Motor Show that he drew the very first model of the 2 CV A pre-series, and he didn’t forget to to position the headlights on the front wings.

Each car has been faithfully reproduced with a high quality finish.

It is presented in a clear Perspex case.
