He had a duplicate. It was a time when the collector who had a nice piece to negotiate, preferred the exchange to the money. It was the guarantee of bringing another \"nice\" model into his collection. We often did exchanges with other enthusiasts. Today this practice has completely disappeared and with it a certain way of collecting. Money is king. I remember that Christian Cathary was looking for the GMC set with its trailer from the Pinder circus from Dinky Toys in a box. We found one for him and made the exchange some time later. This \"Brandt\" has a unique history. It was designed on JRD manufacturing crates that C-I-J recovered when the Montreuil firm ceased its activity. Some examples even have a JRD engraved chassis. C-I-J will use them until exhaustion before creating a smooth chassis, without inscription. The model was designed for promotional use. I had proof of this when I recovered a good hundred examples, new in box and coming from a former salesman at Brandt. This company used a fleet of identical Citro\u00ebns for its deliveries. The surplus of the order was sold commercially. There is even a very rare box, without the mentions \"Brandt\" on the labels affixed to the sides. This van is an aesthetic but also technical success. I appreciate the impeccable realization of the stencils. Much later, I will think about it again when I see the Volkswagen Kombi Politiken from Tekno and its blue stencil cutting the model in two. The \"Brandt\" is indeed a legendary piece, which has not aged a day. I still have the same pleasure when seeing the two variants in my window. Its rating has become reasonable following this exhumed lot. That was almost 25 years ago."}
