Second edition of this model by “Orlik” publishing house. The “Le Zebre” car was designed by Jules. Production began in 1907. From 1912 a larger four-seater model - "Typ B" and an elongated four-seater with a 4-cylinder engine - "Typ G" were produced. The buyer himself chose the color and level of equipment of his future car. The manufacturer sold only the chassis with the engine, and the respective factories produced the bodies, according to the wishes of the customer. Therefore, there were quite a few differences between the cars. The advertising slogan of the company declared that the "Zebre” is three times faster and cheaper, than a horse". The “Le Zebre” trademark disappeared around 1930.
The model is intended for modelers of any experience, only advanced beginners and low-experience modelers are recommended to work under the supervision of a more experienced colleague, and it cannot be one of the first models of higher complexity. Well detailed interior, chassis, engine compartment, exterior elements, opening hoods, opening doors can be made. All these elements greatly decorate the model and are not very easy to simplify, because the car is quite open. The photos, attached to the product, show the green car model, assembled from the first edition.
