After looking at M. Fatka's cyclist collection on e-bay (2701049695) I will add that in addition to the Citroen team car, I also have 4 of the same type of riders. However mine are plastic, almost seem to be a copy of the metal ones. Made in England by Britain's Ltd. As I continue to fondle them, they seem quite hard but I am still sure that they are plastic.
