Tintin Car No. 25 - The Red Taxi - Lot 260

Tintin Car No. 25 - The Red Taxi Item No.: 29925 Collection: Cars from The Adventures of Tintin (1/24 scale) Publisher: Moulinsart Context in the Story In *The Crab with the Golden Claws*, Tintin sets out in pursuit of Captain Haddock’s kidnappers. When he spots a taxi pulling over, he rushes toward it… but another passenger tries to get in at the same time. A comical scene ensues, with each claiming priority. To defuse the conflict, Tintin comes up with a bold excuse: he claims to have been bitten by a rabid dog and to need to get to the Pasteur Institute immediately. This clever ruse allows him to hit the road without delay in the famous red taxi.
