Atlas Dinky Toys No. 25D Citroën 2CV Order "B.B. Lorrain"

The Atlas Dinky Toys No. 25D Citroën 2CV Van "B.B. Lorrain" is an exceptional reproduction of the iconic Citroën 2CV van, known for its simplicity and reliability.

Dinky Toys collectors already know the history of this legendary model in detail. In 1958, 100 copies were produced, and another 100 in 1959, on the initiative of Mr. Roger GOULON, manager of the Lyon store "Au Bébé Lorrain", which he ran with his wife. On the store's letterhead, he introduced himself as "Agent régional du Club Dinky Toys, première section de France". The couple themselves attached the famous and coveted yellow tape to the sides of the van, with the words "Club Dinky-Toys, BB Lorrain, 8 rue du Platre, Lyon". This tape was also used to wrap parcels... The original Dinky Toys is a "Code 2", painted in the Bobigny factory and decorated later. But is very rare.

The Dinky Toys version with the "B.B. Lorrain" print was issued in a small series, which makes it a sought-after collector's item. This Atlas edition, in very good condition and with the original box, offers a unique opportunity for collectors to add a rare and historic miniature to their collection.
