M is for Multicoloured Miniature Motoring Marvels From Across 'La Manche'

We were going to have some Dinosaurs here but I ran out of time on Friday-gone and posted this quickly so there'd be something sitting here, come Monday morning!

From the French concern Minialuxe, come these delightful 'Personnage de Tacots' which is like 'old-crocks people' or passengers for old-fashioned cars, scaled to 1:43rd and painted beatifully, I have seen some with plainer decoration, but mine all seem to be 'off to Henley' in their Regatta finest!

Obviously the top one is a part-set and I'm not sure about the packing on the bottom one, I think the figures pre-date the invention of bubble-wrap, let along its common usage!
