At last count I had 314 French vehicles in my collection. You have to remember I have a bunch of old French Dinkies, plus dozens of Delage, Delahaye, Voisin, Bugatti, etc. resin models by Matrix et al. Here's a Talbot-Lago I really like.

@jack-dodds Thanks Jack! Somehow I missed it on initial release and had to do a lot of searching to find one. Finally found it at Diecast Legends, a UK dealer.

@mg-harv It's difficult to give my count as most of the photographs are about ten years old and the collection remains in boxes, in London. That's many years of buying and increasing forgetfulness. But I make it maybe 150+ for the same reason - the Bugattis, Hispano, Delage, Delayaye, and Lago-Talbots: the golden age of the French automobile.

Karl's post reminded me that I too have a 'real' French Olympics car - a Corgi for the 1964 Winter Olympics in Grenoble. With a skier, no less.

I have quite a few 1/43 French taxi models. Sadly, they remain boxed away since our move five years ago. I just don't have display space and should sell them but, you know, inertia.....

In case your car is "en panne", call M. Petitjean, he is always willing to help ASAP...
...or you could simply take the bus...
