AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

These two plastic Michelin Bibendum figures have traveled for years with a professional driver on European roads. The general public knows them as the 'Michelin man', the chubby figure that has represented the MICHELIN brand since 1898. Although his real name is Bibendum, or more commonly 'Bib'. These famous Michelin figurines were chosen as the 'Icon of the Millennium' and are built from car tires. Bibendum was first designed in 1898 and has been the emblem of Michelin since its birth, for 120 years, contributing to Michelin's success as the global leader in the tire sector.

Here we have one standing Bibendum about 30 cm tall and one sitting about 20 cm tall on a metal stand. Both are roughly 50 years old and show some signs of wear, but they are genuine collectors' items for enthusiasts.

Thus both are original collectors' items for brand collectors, Formula 1 karting motorcycle racing, F1 Renault Williams team or oldtimer cabrio Willy's Jeep, Morris Healey Mercedes Porsche BMW Jaguar Aston Martin MG Triumph Austin Rolls Royce Renault Citroen VW racer or Harley Indian BSA Norton Honda Yamaha Suzuki Yamaha Vespa Lambretta scooter Zundapp Kreidler Puch Solex or decorative objects for in-house mancave, exhibition, or retro workshop.
