I found these tonight being a lover of stamps and anything Monaco to me this is a very cool find. Great cars and fashion as well as a paradise of style.
Note:
During a transition period in 2000-2001 all Monegasque stamps had two denominations, in Francs, and in Euro. Beginning in 2002 their only denomination is in Euro.
It is beyond all doubt, that Albuisson likes veteran cars :-) Just look at this wonderful set of seven beautiful cars, combined with the fashion of their time, issued in 2000.
Ranging from the Humber in 1911 to the Lamborghini Countach 1946, they are all sophistication beyond description.
Design by Merot and engravings by Albuisson.
Humber 1911, Type Beeston
Ferrari F1 - 1989
Fiat 600 Jolly 1966
Jaguar 1947
Citroën C4F Autochenille 1929
Rolls Royce Silver Cloud 1956
Lamborghini Countach 1986
More to follow from this site its loaded with Monaco yummies. I'll take the Rolls Royce Silver Cloud 1956. A man who had just brought flowers to my Mom and I dated his son I asked would he take me for a drive in his new car sitting in our drive. No help yourself the keys are under the mat on the drivers side. I thought the man was crazy but did I argue? No way and Mom was on my rear out the door for the ride. She had no idea where the wiper switch was watch out where I was going don't I dare hit anything. It was a special ordered Rolls with less than a hundred miles. What an experience better then being thrown in the back of a limo as a kid to me to drive that. My parents loved the limo putting the window up they didn't have to hear the 'he's touching me.'
