1/18 Bugatti T35 Nation Color Project - France #22 #0007/1000 CMC M-100 004 -MH189
Description
Das Modell stammt aus Sammlervorbesitz und kommt im perfekten Zustand mit allem Zubehör. Car was pre-owned but comes in mint condition in its original box with all accessories belonged too.
Not suitable for children under 14 years. May contain small and sharp parts.
France is generally regarded as a kind of motherland of motorsport. As early as 1906, France hosted its first "Grand Prix" competition. This racing event took place annually until 1914 under the patronage of the Automobile Club de France (ACF).
After the end of the First World War, other countries also started to host "Grands Prix", with the term "Grand Prix" coined by France becoming increasingly popular and very quickly being accepted worldwide as a memorable synonym for the emerging international motorsport. After 1918, the Grand Prix of Italy (1921); Belgium (1925); Germany and Great Britain (both 1926) followed for the first time.
These events soon attracted a large audience; the racing atmosphere was simply something new and special. And the thrill was not neglected. Even back then, the motto was ... "see and be seen". People dressed up when they went to the Grand Prix. The ladies in costumes and hats, the gentlemen in fine suits and ties. The obligatory headwear in the form of a hat or a sporty flat cap was a must. The children were dressed in fashionable sailor suits.
Unfortunately, the contemporary old black and white photos do not convey how colorful the racing cars of the 1920s and 1930s once looked. National colors had since been prescribed for each country. In this way, brightly painted racing cars made an appearance at every Grand Prix.
We would therefore like to show you, using the example of a basic model of the Bugatti T 35 Grand Prix, which dominated the racing scene of that time, which country-specific racing colors were to be found on the racetracks.
Note: The appearance of the model, as well as the lettering design (start numbers) make no claim to historical authenticity and cannot be assigned to any specific race or driver personality.
