A collector from Switzerland told me about this scale model. It is a 1:64 diecast Volvo 760 made in Warsaw ( Poland ) by a company called Carex. I remember myself having seen one a few years ago. But since there were no packaging and the fact that the rear doesn't look like a Volvo, I simply thought that it wasn't one. Slight mistake. This petroleum blue Volvo has a black interior and opening front side doors. The model with the black bottom-plate has also a tow bar. It comes packed in a blister on cardboard.

This is certainly a rare find. This batch consists of 3 slightly different versions of the same livery. The batch ( 5 models in total ) is currently being offered for sale on the web. Volvo 245 Estate 'Tours de France - Officiels' & trailer with two race bikes :                 
Here is a short summary explaining the small differences between these models :
There are even 5 different versions if you take into account the way the colored bikes are placed on the trailers. Each set is however packed in the same type of blister. I have discovered once again a new set made by Majorette. The duo consist of a Volvo 245 Estate and a single axle trailer with two bikes. The Volvo 245 Estate is painted copper metallic and lettered for 'touring club de France'. The single axle trailer is made out of gray metal and holds two racing bikes. The bikes are made out of plastic and are red and yellow. The set is packed in a blister which features a white plastic base.
