Vintage Tour De France Cycling Miniatures Collection: 20 Salza & Foundries Roger Figurines - 3 Team Cars - 1950's 1960's 1970's

This is a collection of Italian made Tour De France Miniature bikes/racers, and team cars.  They're laid out into three collector cases, and two of them depict scenes from the peloton (arrange them however you like, the sky's the limit!).  These were made mostly in the 1950's and 1960's, though the Bianchi-Campagnolo team car is from the 1970's and the Raleigh Ti team car is from the late 70's or early 1980's.  

Most of the bicycles and their riders were made by an Italian company called Foundries Roger.  They depict legendary race teams such as Molteni, KAS to name a few.  You could probably trace lineage back to particular racers even.  Quite rare.

A few of the figures were made by Italian company Salza, and are even more rare.  These are the ones with the one piece long base.  

The Le Parisien L' Equipe Gilac support van and the BIC Le Parisien jeep are perhaps the most precious of the lot.  They were made by Salza, and are exceedingly rare.  The jeep has a saddle hang bar on the rear, and three separate bikes hang from it.  A Frenchman in a yellow suit drives it.

The Bianchi-Campagnolo Servizio Course support car is an early 70's Lancia Beta Coupe, made by Matel's Mebotoys.  This is a 1/25 ratio model.  It's quite detailed, and features opening doors and hood with fully formed engine and interior

The T.I:Raleigh Creda team car is a Peugeot 505 STI made by famous British model car maker Corgi.
