This charming Citroën vehicle featured in “The Red Sea Sharks,” becomes a focal point as it is playfully pushed by the ever-mischievous Thompson and Thomson at the Vagabond Car Club gathering in front of Marlinspike Hall. Page 62 C1 unveils this scene, a whimsical moment at the conclusion of Tintin, Snowy, and Captain Haddock’s perilous high-seas adventure. The juxtaposition of the classic car and the return from an intense voyage adds a touch of irony and humour to the narrative.

The car comes in a clear perspex case, that has a design on it to highlight the adventure, along with a brochure in French and English.

Moulinsart in their new collaboration with Hachette have released a series of diecast 1/24 scale model cars. You will be thrilled by their appearance, they are bigger, yes twice the size, they shine like the sun, and the wheels do go round! And the detail is incredible, nothing is missed from Hergé’s masterful pen strokes.
