The duplicate, produced by French toymaker CIJ, is a pale darkish purple colour with a brown interior and even comes with a brake lever.

It's going to go underneath the hammer on Friday at auctioneers Lacy Scott & Knight of Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.

It's not recognized the place the mannequin came from.

Embellished with the number two, it has now been cosigned by a Suffolk collector.

A specialist at Lacy Scott & Knight Oliver Leggett stated: "This scarce model screams quality particularly as it is approaching 100 years previous.

"The eye to detail, the success of the actual racing automotive and the size of the mannequin really contribute to its general worth."

CIJ made Citroen and Renault toys before it ventured out and modelled the Alfa Romeo, hoping to money in on its racing success.

Alfa Romeo is extensively recognized to have dominated Grand Prix motor racing – until 1934, when the German Mercedes and Auto Union automobiles emerged.

The Alfa Romeo P2, which boasts a prime velocity of 139mph gained the Vehicle World Championship in 1925.

The bonnet displays a four-leaf clover, which develop into the image of all Alfa Romeo race automobiles.

The posh Italian automotive manufacturer saw continued success in 1950 when Guiseppe Farina gained the primary Components One drivers' championship in an Alfa Romeo 158.

It comes after the world's most luxury Jaguar went up for auction for £24,000 – and it comes fit with Swarovski crystals.

And a rare miniature toy car bought for just 50p was set to fetch an enormous sum at auction.
