What car did Tintin drive?

Tintin was often seen driving various vehicles throughout his adventures, but the most iconic car associated with him is the Lancia Aprilia. This stylish Italian car appears in The Calculus Affair (L'Affaire Tournesol), where Tintin, Captain Haddock, and Snowy drive it through intense chase sequences. Other notable vehicles Tintin has used include: • Buick Model 1939 (The Black Island) • Jaguar Mk X (The Castafiore Emerald) • Citroën 15CV (Land of Black Gold) The adventures of Tintin frequently feature meticulously drawn, real-world vehicles, which Hergé, the creator of Tintin, illustrated with exceptional accuracy.

Moulinsart is the official company responsible for managing and protecting the Tintin brand and Hergé’s legacy. Named after Marlinspike Hall (Château de Moulinsart in French), Captain Haddock’s ancestral home, the company oversees licensing, merchandise, and copyrights related to The Adventures of Tintin. Founded by Nick Rodwell, the husband of Hergé’s widow, Fanny Rodwell, Moulinsart plays a crucial role in ensuring the authenticity and quality of official Tintin products, including the highly detailed 1:24 scale vehicle models available on Hornseys.

Are these Tintin model vehicles official merchandise?

Yes, the 1:24 scale Tintin vehicles sold by Hornseys are officially licensed by Moulinsart and crafted with exceptional detail. Each model is based on Hergé’s original illustrations and represents vehicles from Tintin’s many adventures.

Do the Tintin model cars come with certificates of authenticity?

Most official Moulinsart-licensed Tintin models come with a certificate of authenticity, confirming their status as an officially licensed collectible. If you are looking for a specific certification, please check the individual product descriptions or contact us for more details.

What scale are the Tintin vehicle models?

The 1:24 scale models mean that the vehicles are 24 times smaller than their real-world counterparts. This scale allows for a perfect balance between detail and display size, making them ideal for collectors who appreciate high-quality craftsmanship.

Can I buy other Tintin collectibles from Hornseys?

In addition to 1:24 scale vehicles, Hornseys stocks a wide range of Tintin collectibles, including: • 1:43 scale model cars • Tintin figurines & statues • Limited edition prints & artwork • Tintin books & graphic novels
