Cora Elvé 1957 - cycling figurine

The Cora Elvé 1957 team joins the Le Petit Cycliste collection as a hand-painted zamak figurine. Cast in zinc alloy — a material prized for its durability and ability to capture fine detail — each piece is individually painted by hand in France, following a craft tradition that faithfully reproduces every detail of the team jersey.

The 1957 season holds a special place in cycling history: it was the year a 23-year-old Jacques Anquetil claimed his first Tour de France title, announcing the arrival of a champion who would go on to reshape professional cycling for years to come. The French peloton was at the height of its powers, with national squads locked in fierce battle across the grands tours. Against this backdrop, teams like Cora Elvé embodied the soul of a grassroots cycling culture — rooted in the regions, driven by riders of genuine grit and character.

• Material: zamak (zinc alloy)
• Hand-painted in France using traditional craft techniques
• Limited production run — collector's piece
• Faithful reproduction of the Cora Elvé team jersey, 1957 season

A perfect addition to a collector's peloton or a lasting tribute to one of the landmark seasons in the sport's history.
