Jouef HDI is a very collectable brand
Made in Ireland for a start!
Only lasted a couple of years
And although a lot of items were produced in the Shannon factory the HDI brand was not printed on all their
models, because of the cost involved in changing the moulds
Collectors of HDI are widespread, especially in France
Ugly, yes
Prototypical, no ( and thats just the collectors)
Some of these coaches have made over €100 back in the day
Just remember there is no one standing over these bidders with a big stick, they are bidding because they want to buy!
Last bid was a sniper, entered in the last 10 seconds before the auction ended
I guarantee you he had a bid of up to £80 or more on the coach
Just noticed that the coach has no inner, there is a window bar attached to it and it does not show on the photo, so another €10 for
a standard Jouef coach to get an inner.
