A specialist dealer at your service

As a specialist dealer in Model cars and motorcycles, I offer a collection of Gitane Moto Model cars that reflects my current available stock. Unlike complete collections, my selection evolves regularly according to arrivals and market opportunities. This approach allows me to offer you a variety of models, sometimes rare, discovered during my research.

The majority of my Gitane Moto Models are offered in 1/43rd scale , the reference format for collectors, but you will also find some remarkable pieces in 1/24th and 1/18th for fans of larger models. Some reproductions in HO scale (1/87th) complete this offer for model railway enthusiasts who wish to enhance their dioramas.

Each model is available in limited quantities , usually between one and two copies. This rarity is what makes the collection so attractive: what you see online is exactly what is available in my stock.

A collection that tells the history of French cycling

In this Gitane Moto Model car collection, you will mainly discover the support and logistics vehicles that accompanied the riders of the Gitane cycling team during major competitions. These Models faithfully reproduce the vans and light utility vehicles in the brand's emblematic colors, with their characteristic yellow and red livery.

You will also find reproductions of Gitane advertising vehicles , witnesses to the time when the brand was omnipresent in the French cycling landscape. These models fit perfectly into the world of Tour de France vehicles , a legendary event where Gitane made cycling history.

The Gypsy epic: from bicycles to escort cars

The story of Gitane began in 1930 in Machecoul, in Loire-Atlantique, where Marcel Brunelière founded this brand that would become one of the benchmarks of French cycling . The name "Gitane" evokes the spirit of freedom and adventure, perfectly in tune with the world of road cycling.

Gitane Moto Model cars reproduce the vehicles that accompanied the greatest French cycling champions from the 1960s to the 1980s. These support cars, often based on Peugeot or Citroën models, transported equipment, spare wheels and accompanied the riders during the most difficult stages.

The Gitane brand reached its peak in the 1970s , a period during which Bernard Hinault, nicknamed "the Badger," won numerous victories riding Gitane bicycles. This golden era is reflected in the Models in my collection, which immortalize these historic moments in French sport.

A passion that spans generations

There's a memorable anecdote related to Gitane that perfectly illustrates the brand's cultural impact. In 1975, during the Tour de France, Bernard Hinault took his first steps in the Tour de France on a Gitane bicycle. The team's support vehicles, now reproduced in Model, followed the future five-time Tour de France winner on his first cycling adventures.

These Gitane vehicles became symbols of the golden age of French cycling, a time when French teams dominated the roads of Europe. The Models in my collection capture that special atmosphere of the 1960s and 1970s, when the Tour de France captivated all of France and support vehicles were an integral part of the spectacle.

This nostalgic dimension makes these Models true witnesses of French sporting history , recalling an era when cycling was king and Gitane embodied French technical excellence.
