About the Opel Commodore A #29 J-L. Clarr / J-P. Peyroux Tour de France Automobile 1971 MCG 1:18

TL;DR: MCG's 1:18 diecast Opel Commodore A #29 recreates the 1971 Tour de France Automobile entry, the famous French endurance event that combined circuit racing with long road stages. MCG's diecast tooling captures this large touring car's livery and proportion for a distinct racing subject from the same Commodore A platform used elsewhere in period rallying.

The Tour de France Automobile demanded a different kind of endurance than a mountain rally, mixing circuit sprints with long transit stages across France, and this Commodore represents that unique format.

A Different Competition Context for the Same Platform

Where the Commodore A also competed in mountain rallies like Monte Carlo, the Tour de France Automobile tested cars across a mix of circuit racing and cross-country road stages, a genuinely distinct discipline from stage rallying. MCG's diecast reflects that racing-specific preparation with car #29's own livery and number scheme, giving this release a separate competitive identity from the marque's rally entries despite sharing the underlying Commodore A body. The car's substantial size suited the high-speed circuit portions of the event, and the diecast tooling carries that same sturdy, upright touring-car stance seen across the Commodore range.

Two Commodore A Liveries, Two Racing Disciplines

Displayed together, this Tour de France entry and the Monte Carlo Rally Commodore make a genuinely instructive pairing, showing how the same production platform was adapted across two very different competition formats in the same season. For a collector interested in early-1970s European motorsport variety beyond stage rallying alone, the Tour de France Automobile adds real historical breadth. At 1:18, it shares the Commodore's substantial touring-car footprint, best given generous shelf space.
