Magnificent sculpture or figure of Bibendum on a motorcycle, the well-known Michelin doll, made of polychrome resin. Although many do not know his real name, Bibendum is one of the most famous corporate mascots in history, recognized throughout the world. It has been chosen as the best logo of the 20th century by numerous magazines, advertising agencies and journalists from the automotive world. Its history begins at the end of the 19th century, in 1884-1888, when it was created by the Michelin brothers and the poster artist Marius Rossillon. It soon achieved great fame, and since then it has not stopped evolving and promoting the brand's tires.

The legendary Michelin doll received the award as “Icon of the Millennium” from the prestigious Advertising Week in 2018, when it celebrated its 120th birthday.

This version of Bibendum on a motorcycle is very original. A great opportunity to acquire this advertising icon for any collector and a great gift idea. Perfect for displaying on a display stand in an auto shop, garage, game room\.
