The German submarine Type VII C was by far the most built submarine. This variant was put into service in April 1940 and was the backbone of the Battle of the Atlantic. Only one boat still exists as a museum ship in Laboe (Germany). Type VII were single-hull ocean-going boats, the characteristics of which were the external saddle tanks. More than 700 units have been put into service.

One of the very first modern models designed for the 80s generation, the F12 truck was released in autumn of 1977 to replace the F89, launched seven years earlier. These brand new cab-over vehicles were the end product of the research that eventually led to the launch of the N models in 1973. This was particularly true of the special high-strength steel chassis and parts of the drive chain, which had also been strengthened and improved. A series of aluminium tanks and parabolic leaf springs were used to minimise the truck‘s weight and thus maximise the payload. On board the F12 the driver benefited from excellent conditions, which was necessary given the considerable distances involved in international transit.

Massey Ferguson designed and developed the Series 2000 tractors in the late 1970s, in France, for varied and often difficult cultivation conditions. Improvements to the hydraulic system and a four-wheel drive system led to the development of ultrasophisticated and increasingly sturdy machines, with sufficiently powerful wheels, power take-off and lifting capabilities to enable the use of all modern instruments and machines. The MF 2680 Turbo, whose four-wheel version boasts 125 DIN HP of power, is a versatile tool with an overall design that reduces and simplifies maintenance and parts replacement operations.

The Standard Motor Company in Coventry (Great Britain) manufactured Ferguson tractors from 1946 (TE = Tractor England). In France they were assembled by Standard Hotchkiss in Saint Denis (models TE-20) from 1952. 1956 was converted to a completely French construction (models FF30) until production was discontinued in 1958. The TE-20 is equipped with a „three-point hitch“, which was invented by Harry Ferguson and can be found in every modern tractor today. Always colored gray, it became a great commercial success that was available in 3 widths: standard, narrow and winemaker.

Built for the Universal Exhibition celebrating the centenary of the French revolution, the Eiffel Tower was completed in 1889. It took 2 years to build, from 1st July 1887 to 31st March 1889 (planting of the flag at the summit). From the time of its inauguration, it proved a phenomenal success and two million people ascended the Tower. The anticipated lifetime of the Eiffel Tower was no more than 20 years. It has changed color several times, from reddish-brown to yellow ochre, brown and finally the bronze. It takes 25 painters a year to completely paint it.

The Evolution 2 of the 205 Turbo 16 incorporated the lessons learned by experience and appeared at the 1985 Tour of Corsica. The drivers Bruno SABY and Timo SALONEN wonthe 30th Tour of Corsica in 1986. With an empty weight ofonly 910 kilos and 500Nm this was enough for a 0-100 sprintin only 2.9 seconds, whereby it made almost no differencewhether on asphalt or loose ground.

Designed using a new technique at the time and inspired by American manufacturing processes, the C4 was an exceptionally sturdy vehicle. Heller‘s model depicts the type of vehicles commonly used in the 20s and 30s by high-end establishment to carry their wealthy clients between the train station and the hotel.

Among grand touring cars, the BUGATTI type 50 takes it place at the peak of progress thanks to its comfort, it’s ease of handling and it’s power. The type 50 was a great success, both because of it’s line and on account of it’s reliability. Highly prized in the field of elegance, it was a natural draw at any exhibition.

The North American Mustang is considered to be the best piston- engined single-seater fighter plane of the Second World War. The speed of its design was in itself a record: British workmen, built one in 117 days in 1940!
