The Tintin/Lancia connection is well known within Lancia circles, but how he tracked it down I am not sure ......

Its beautifully made and looks to be to be more correct in shape etc than many others on the market. I think I got mine online from the Tintin shop in London.
There is also an Tintin Aprilia model of comparable quality from another story available I recall. Maybe you can treat yourself?

My birthday is not until November and all finances are, at the moment directed at the real cars, so it may have to wait. However, I am patient ... I have learnt that from restoring Lancias!!!!!
