Discover this stunning Licorne 11CV Rivoli dark blue 1938 miniature, a faithful reproduction of an iconic French car from the interwar years. This collector's piece captures all the elegance and refinement of this prestige saloon, which embodied French automotive craftsmanship of the 1930s.
A true collector's item for classic car enthusiasts, this miniature represents an important chapter in French automotive history, a period when manufacturers competed to create vehicles combining performance and distinction.
The 1938 Licorne 11CV Rivoli represented the pinnacle of French automotive elegance on the eve of the Second World War. This luxury saloon was designed for a discerning clientele seeking a car that combined comfort, performance and prestige. Its 11-horsepower engine delivered remarkable performance for its time, while its flowing bodywork perfectly embodied Art Deco automotive design.
The Rivoli stood out for its carefully finished details and cutting-edge equipment. Its design put passenger comfort first, with spacious seats and generous interior room. The car was aimed mainly at the notables and well-off bourgeoisie of the day, a symbol of social success.
Commercially, the Licorne 11CV Rivoli enjoyed modest but steady success, establishing itself as a credible alternative to the offerings of the major French manufacturers of the period. Its limited production makes it especially sought after by collectors today.
In 1938, the Licorne brand was going through a pivotal period in its history. Founded in the early twentieth century, the company had evolved with the times to offer vehicles meeting the expectations of an increasingly sophisticated clientele. Technical innovation and attention to design defined the brand's philosophy at the time.
The 1930s marked the creative peak of Licorne, a period in which the manufacturer developed its most accomplished models. The brand cultivated an image of refinement and quality, positioning its vehicles in the accessible luxury segment. This strategy helped it retain a demanding clientele while expanding its sales network.
The story of Licorne reflects the richness of the pre-war French automotive landscape, an era when many independent manufacturers contributed to the diversity and innovation of the industry. The brand embodied the entrepreneurial spirit that characterised the French car industry.
The 1938 Licorne 11CV Rivoli was far more than just a car: it embodied the French art de vivre of the interwar years. At a time when cars were becoming gradually accessible to the middle classes, the Rivoli stood for French refinement and elegance. Its owners used it as much for business trips as for Sunday outings, helping to shape the image of the prestige car.
This saloon often accompanied society outings and trips to the seaside resorts of the Normandy coast or the Riviera. Its plush interior and road manners made it the ideal companion for long weekends and summer holidays. The Rivoli thus took part in the emerging culture of motor tourism that was transforming the habits of French society.
The year 1938 also marked the last embers of pre-war carefree living. Owners of the Licorne Rivoli still enjoyed the pleasures of driving on French roads, unaware that this golden age of luxury motoring was drawing to a close. This historical dimension gives the model a particular heritage value today.
The dark blue colour of this specific version was especially popular with male buyers, evoking the sobriety and seriousness of the businessmen of the era. This shade allowed the Rivoli to blend discreetly into the urban landscape while keeping its distinguished character.
This Licorne 11CV Rivoli is a natural fit for any collection dedicated to French model cars. It sits perfectly alongside other iconic models from the 1930s, a golden age for French motoring. Collectors will appreciate how well it complements other prestige saloons of the period.
This miniature is especially suited to classic car history enthusiasts and to collectors keen to preserve the memory of vanished French manufacturers. It also has a place in themed collections devoted to classic cars or collectible saloons. Its 1/43rd scale makes it compatible with most existing collections.
Fans of 1/43rd scale miniatures will find a rare model here that enriches their collection of exceptional French vehicles. This Licorne Rivoli reflects the diversity and creativity of the French car industry, a reminder that our automotive heritage is not limited to the major manufacturers still in business today.

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.
