About the Peugeot 402 Eclipse Chocolate Norev 1:18

TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Peugeot 402 Eclipse in Chocolate features opening doors and the car's pioneering folding hardtop, reproduced over a zinc alloy body. New model, new box. The 402 Eclipse was among the first production cars with a retractable steel roof, a genuine engineering first from 1937.

Long before retractable hardtops became a modern convertible feature, Peugeot's Eclipse mechanism proved the concept could work on a production car, decades ahead of its wider adoption.

Opening Mechanism and Diecast Build

The doors on this model open, and the folding roof mechanism itself is a genuine feature worth exploring by hand, letting a collector recreate the retracting motion that made the original such a talking point in 1937. Zinc alloy diecast gives the elegant pre-war coachwork real substance, with panel gaps around the doors sitting at typical diecast tolerances, a fair trade for the working roof mechanism this construction allows. The chocolate paint carries proper depth for a pre-war livery, and the running boards, wire wheels and split windscreen are all rendered with the fine surface detail this era of coachbuilt design demands. As a new model in a new box, it arrives ready to be posed with the roof either raised or folded, letting the mechanism itself become part of the display.

An Engineering Milestone on a Vintage Shelf

Pre-war French coachwork rarely gets the display attention that later sports cars receive, and the 402 Eclipse deserves a place precisely because of what it achieved mechanically rather than just how it looks. Set alongside other 1930s classics, its folding roof gives it a genuine functional story that most static vintage models cannot match.
