Peugeot 406 Taxi 2 Jet-car 1:43 scale
This is the Peugeot 406 Taxi 2 Jet-car 1:43 scale by Norev.
The Peugeot 406, produced from 1995 to 2004, stood out in the midsize sedan market with its elegant Pininfarina-styled lines and a refined balance of comfort and handling. What made it unique was how it blended French ride softness with sharp, precise steering, offering a driving experience that was both relaxed and engaging—qualities that helped it gain worldwide recognition, including a starring role as the high-speed taxi in the Taxi film series, which boosted its cultural status far beyond its segment rivals.
Norev 1:43 scale Jet Cars are a distinctive diecast line introduced in the 1970s, aimed at younger collectors who wanted affordable, durable, and fun-to-play-with models. Unlike Norev’s more detailed collector-grade replicas, Jet Cars featured simplified designs, bright colors, and rolling wheels that emphasized speed and playability over strict authenticity. Their packaging often highlighted the “jet” theme, appealing to the imagination of kids at the time, and today they are remembered as nostalgic entry-level models that introduced many enthusiasts to the world of diecast collecting.
