In The Calculus Affair (page 21, vignette D3), just recovered from the waters of Lake Geneva, Tintin and Captain Haddock immediately look for a new driver to take them to Nyon, where Professor Topolino lives. Luckily, one of the witnesses who witnessed their accident willingly offers to take them there. The opportunity for Hergé to showcase an elegant cream-colored British sedan.
The Rover for Nyon is part of the “Cars from the Adventures of Tintin” collection. This emblematic series brings together 71 replicas of the main models taken from the Hergé saga. Each vehicle has been faithfully reproduced, with a high quality of finish and details.
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.
