This Citroën C2 S1600 in white, red, and orange livery faithfully reproduces the vehicle entered by the crew Simon Jean-Joseph / Jack Boyère during the Antibes Rally 2007. Proudly displaying the number 1, this miniature captures the competitive spirit of one of the most spectacular categories of French rallying.
A true witness of a golden era in French motorsport, this 1/43 scale reproduction is a must-have for any rallying enthusiast and Citroën heritage collector.
The Citroën C2 S1600 was born in 2004 from Citroën Sport's ambition to provide an accessible weapon in the Super 1600 category. Based on the production C2, this competition version underwent a radical transformation to meet the demands of modern rallying.
Powered by a 1.6-liter atmospheric engine developing nearly 210 horsepower, the C2 S1600 offers an exceptional weight-to-power ratio thanks to its lightweight and reinforced chassis. Its temporary all-wheel drive and specifically calibrated suspensions make it a formidable competitor on all types of terrain. The aerodynamic design, with its pronounced fender extensions and imposing rear spoiler, showcases Citroën Sport's technical development expertise.
This Super 1600 category achieved immediate success in the European rally landscape, offering private drivers a high-level platform at a controlled cost, while serving as a springboard to higher categories in the World Championship.
In 2007, Citroën was undergoing a transitional period in the rally world. After dominating the years 2003 to 2005 with the Xsara WRC driven by Sébastien Loeb and Daniel Elena, the brand was actively preparing for the arrival of the C4 WRC. In this context, the C2 S1600 perfectly embodies Citroën's sporting philosophy: to democratize motorsport.
The strategy of Citroën Sport then involves maintaining a complete range of competition vehicles, from entry-level models to high-level prototypes. This pyramid approach allows the brand to retain a pool of talent and maintain its sporting image across the French territory.
The commitment of many C2 S1600s in regional French championships showcases the success of this sporting policy, creating a true driving school in France that will feed professional teams for many years.
The Antibes Rally 2007 took place in a particular context for French motorsport. This event, traditionally held in spring, attracts many local crews as well as drivers from all over France to enjoy the winding roads of the Antibes hinterland.
Simon Jean-Joseph and Jack Boyère, obtaining the number 1 for this edition, received recognition from the organizers, likely due to their previous results in regional championships. This prestigious entry number reflects their status as favorites in this Mediterranean event known for its technical special stages.
The 2007 edition of the Antibes Rally is part of the great tradition of French regional rallies, events that form the backbone of motorsport in France. These events allow local drivers to excel on their favorite roads, often creating passionate rivalries between neighboring teams.
The colorful livery of this C2 S1600, a harmonious blend of white, red, and orange, perfectly reflects the festive and Mediterranean spirit of this spring event, where sporting performance mingles with the pleasure of driving on the steep roads of the Alpes-Maritimes.
This Citroën C2 S1600 from the Antibes Rally 2007 naturally fits alongside other Citroën miniature models. It perfectly complements a collection dedicated to French rally vehicles, especially those from the 2000s.
Passionate collectors of motorsport will appreciate pairing it with other models from the Super 1600 category, thereby creating a representative display of this prosperous era in French rallying. Its colorful livery and distinctive number 1 also make it a prized piece for fans of competition cars in 1/43 scale.
This miniature will appeal to both specialists in French regional rallying and general collectors looking to enrich their range of French competition vehicles, demonstrating the richness and diversity of French automotive sporting heritage.

In addition to the fact that the 1/43 miniatures received are perfectly in line with the photographs and my expectations and are of great finesse, they arrived very quickly (I was even informed of the shipment) and very carefully packaged. Very satisfied, I placed a new order with Bernard Miniatures, a seller I recommend for their selection and reliability.
The scale is the reduction ratio between the real car and the model. At 1:43 scale, for example, every centimetre of the model represents 43 centimetres of the real vehicle.
In practice, a 1:18 Ferrari model is about 25–30 cm long, while at 1:43 it measures roughly 10 cm.
Our model cars mainly come in 1:43, 1:24, 1:18 and 1:87 (HO) scale. The scale is always listed on the product page.
The smaller the second number, the bigger the model (e.g. 1:18 is larger than 1:43).
Yes, every model car ships in its protective box. The box preserves its collector value and protects your model from dust and knocks.
We pack every order with great care: bubble wrap, snug padding and polystyrene. Your model car is fully secured on its way to you.
In-stock items ship within 24–48h. Allow 2–3 business days for mainland France with Colissimo, or 4–5 days with Mondial Relay.
I can't say exactly when new stock will arrive, as it comes in a trickle. Feel free to contact me and I'll let you know as soon as it's available.
