The Vaillantes were built from Hommell racing cars and were inspired by the drawings of Jean Graton, author of the Michel Vaillant comics. 16 Grand Défi were built and 15 are left today. This example was bought from Christophe Collaro, who in 1999, ordered 14 Grand Défi in order to entrust them to the personalities of the "3Com Star Challenge", a tourist rally that he organizes.
