Notes
An exceptional collection of prototypes were purchased by ‘The New European’ Collector, largely originating from two well-documented sources i.e. the auction of the property of Marcel Van Cleemput at Sotheby’s Auction House in 1999 and the Losch Auction House in Germany during 2000.
The Starsky & Hutch Ford Torino was issued in 1977. This upper section of the vehicle in the instantly recognisable red with white stripe on the roof and body was sold through the Losch Auction House in 2000.
This metal prototype shows the construction – originally the white stripe was meant to be part of the composition – however, this intention never made it past the design stage. The final issue was finished all in red with a white label applied. Simpler and more cost-effective, of course.
