I must admit to being a fan of Gabriel Voisin's oft-times quirky creations. This is the C25 Aerodyne, whose big feature was a roof that slid back along the curvature of the upper body sides. A nice diecast by Ixo, with the typical front fender struts, radiator ornament, and disc covers for the wheels.

I also have a resin C25 by Minichamps, a replica of the car in the Mullin Collection.

Great comparison, Harv. It’s interesting to compare the 1:43 models to the actual cars. Thanks for sharing these unusual Voisins. I’d heard of them but had never seen one until your post. Here is a C25 to replicate your model.

@david-knight Thanks David. If I had been thinking, I would have posted my own pics of the 1:1.

@mg-harv  It was hard to get a good photo in that lighting...   And who was that guy staring at it? 😆
