Polistil S100 2CV Cross

Polistil S100 Citroën 2CV Cross in 1/25 scale, a particularly beautiful and now rare model from the renowned Polistil S series. The miniature is in very good condition, with the original packaging still present, though in poor condition. This makes it particularly interesting for collectors who value both the quality of the model and the presence of the original box.

Polistil, a derivative of the Italian company Politoys, was one of the leading European manufacturers of diecast model vehicles from the 1960s well into the 1980s. The brand was known for its sturdy metal models, accurate proportions, and rugged racing and rally variants. The S series, to which this model belongs, offered larger and more detailed scale models intended both as high-quality toys and as collector's items.

The Citroën 2CV Cross is a playful, sporty interpretation of the iconic French 2CV. While the original "Deux Chevaux" became known primarily as a simple, reliable, and affordable people's car, over the years it became a popular base for rallies, off-road competitions, and creative sports modifications. In the 1970s and 1980s, the 2CV Cross became a phenomenon in amateur and club racing: light, agile, easy to repair, and surprisingly competitive. With this model, Polistil paid tribute to that cheerful, rugged world of off-road and fun racing.

The 1/25 scale allows for beautiful details, something Polistil capitalized on in this series. The raised body, sporty accents, and rally-like appearance give the model a dynamic and striking presence. Despite its age, this example appears to be excellently preserved, with fresh colors and a sleek construction. The original packaging, though in poor condition, enhances its collector's value and underscores the authenticity of the whole.

This Polistil model is an attractive piece for enthusiasts of Citroën, classic rally miniatures, or Italian die-cast history. It combines nostalgia, rarity and character in one charming collectible.
