Alfa-Romeo P2 Tinplate Toy by CIJ

A supremely-scarce first series example of the Alfa-Romeo P2 racing car toy by the French toy company CIJ (Compagnie Industrielle du Jouet), this example with barely-playworn yellow paintwork (indicative of Belgium’s racing colours) and complete with its (essential) original filler caps, starting handle, handbrake, working steering and black painted spoked wheels with early balloon tyres typical of the first series. French, circa 1925.

This is the only example in this colour, as early a series as this, that we have ever seen or owned and comes complete with its original box and key.

Length overall: 21 inches (54 cm)
