The Ottokar sieve.
The Opel Olympia Cabriolet was the first car Hergé acquired. It began manufacturing in 1935. The body was made entirely of steel. The model's name originated from the upcoming 1936 Olympics in Germany.
This vehicle used by the bad guys in the album the Ottokar scepter was bought by Hergé in 1938 when he was 31 years old. It cost him 228,000 Belgian francs.

The record had stood for 32,270 days.
“When I hit the ball it was announced, and Sophie Ecclestone was desperate to give me a hug,” Beaumont said. “I sent her away! I was just in the zone and wasn’t even thinking about records.”
