Did You Know? Anecdotes and Curiosities about our Miniatures

What makes Eligor model cars so special?

Eligor is a French manufacturer founded in 1976, specializing in reproductions of utility and delivery vehicles. Unlike other brands that focus on sports cars, Eligor excels in reproducing French vans, vans, and commercial vehicles from the 1950s to the 1980s, with a remarkable level of detail at 1:43 scale.

Why are Eligor's Citroën 2CVs and Dyanes so sought after?

Eligor has produced an exceptional series of Citroën 2CVs and Dyanes in many authentic versions and colors of the period. These model cars faithfully reproduce the details specific to each vintage, including the fluted headlights, corrugated hoods, and even the small imperfections characteristic of these popular French cars.

What is special about Eligor's 'Firefighters' series?

Eligor specializes in French emergency vehicles with impressive historical accuracy. Their model car fire trucks reproduce the authentic liveries of various French fire stations, with period equipment accurately miniaturized: ladders, hoses, and even regionally specific markings.

How to recognize an authentic Eligor model car?

Genuine Eligor model cars always bear the brand logo engraved under the chassis, along with the scale (usually 1/43) and the country of manufacture 'Made in France'. The paint quality is uniform, the chrome is clean, and the windows are perfectly transparent. Counterfeits often have paint defects and blurred markings.

What is the value of Eligor model cars on the current market?

Eligor model cars in perfect condition in their original box can fetch between €15 and €150 depending on their rarity. Limited editions such as Tour de France vehicles or certain fire engine versions command the highest prices. Standard models from the 1990s and 2000s remain affordable (€15-30), while early productions from the 1980s are highly sought-after.
