This is a lot of five cars I bought from some other collector. They are from 1979 to 1981 in addition to even in addition to thence inward their sealed blister packs "neuf sous blister".
Nr. 217 - BMW TURBO (decoration 1979-1981)
I won’t terminate inward explaining anything almost this car, since y'all accept an entry alone dedicated to it inward this blog. Please view entry #438.
Nr. 221 - BERTONE CAMARGUE (decoration 1980)
This ornament from 1980 is ane of the most curious past times majorette. There are many Majorette models amongst advertising tampographies inside the „ordinary“ 200 or 300 series, but most of them are trucks or vans. In this illustration it is a Citroën GS Camargue inward white, amongst Holiday Inn logos inward green. Curious choice.
In the catalogue of 1981 nosotros detect the lastly appearance of this car, but this fourth dimension inward blueish in addition to white amongst „RACING“ tampographies.
But before 1980, this model was issued several times. In the catalogues from 1974 in addition to 1975, it is non photographed, but drawn, inward orangish colour, an inward 1976, it is finally shown inward a pic but amongst the upper one-half inward cerise in addition to the lower one-half inward yellow. This would perish along until 1978 in addition to inward 1979 nosotros detect a blueish model amongst the Union Jack inward the bonnet. Strange, because it is a French machine in addition to I don’t know whatsoever relation to Great UK whatsoever.
Nr. 228 – SAVIEM GRUE (decoration 1979-1982)
This truck was commencement available quite soon, inward 1975. It is depicted inward that year’s catalogue every bit a replacement of the „Grue Telescopique“. The commencement model seems to live cerise amongst greyness in addition to white crane.
It is seen for the minute fourth dimension inward the catalogue from 1979, inward the same colours every bit the ane shown inward the picture. This would live the principal ornament until 1982. Then, it seems that it was discontinued.
Maybe the pattern was a fleck foreign for kids, since nosotros must authorities annotation that inward this model, the scale is bigger than 1:100, perchance 1:150 or 1:200. It was replaced past times a n merely about 1:100 truck named „Grue“ (Nr. 283)
The adjacent 2 belong somehow together. They were sold good for a long time, probably, because they are quite dissimilar from the other models, in addition to people similar variety. Many fathers bought them for their children, in addition to I must say, I had both every bit a kid. Both inward red. But at that topographic point were many to a greater extent than versions... at to the lowest degree the next ones.
Nr. 261 - MORGAN PLUS 8 (decoration 1981)
The catalogue from 1979 has the commencement appearance of this model inward nighttime greenish amongst white/beige roof, inward 1981 it was changed to cerise amongst dark roof, in addition to this model would perish along inward 1981. In 1982 in addition to until 1984, the commencement model inward greenish amongst white roof volition reappear inward the catalogues.
In 1985 it seems darker, perchance it was a dark version, but I am non certain of this. In 1986 in addition to 87 nosotros detect some other cerise version, but this fourth dimension amongst white/beige roof.
In 1988, at that topographic point si some other novel ornament inward dark or a really nighttime colouring (never seen it),
In 1989 it is redecorated inward lite blueish amongst white roof, in addition to inward 1990 it is shown ane time again inward nighttime greenish amongst white roof.
In 1991 it disappears, but the number 261 would even in addition to thence stay for a few years reserved. Maybe they were selling the residuum of the production during 3-4 years more.
Nr. 267 – EXCALIBUR (decoration 1980)
Unlike the previous model, this ane was issued afterward in addition to discontinued earlier, but it counted many dissimilar versions. I could detect all these:
-1979 Red amongst dark roof
-1980 2 versions: white or red, both amongst dark roof
-1981 Red amongst dark roof
-1982 White or red, both amongst dark roof
-1983 & 1984 Red amongst white roof
-1985 Silver amongst dark roof
-1986 Blue amongst dark roof
-Disappears inward 1987.
