Re: Matchbox Cars

on the matchbox truck its fab to see the box is in such top condition not easy to find the boxes in such good nick.

i had many of the regular wheel lesney's as a kid. I started collecting diecast models back in the 1990s and have a fairly respectable collection (mostly hot wheels) but here are a few of my matchbox

my most recent acquistion at a diecast collector's show

I had an Escort like that, not sure if it had exactly the same livery.

Re: Matchbox Cars

I still have boxes of my old Matchbox and corgi, Dinky cars. It was these little cars/trucks that set me off with my love of cars. To have a Matchbox MK4 Ford Cortina 1.6L was a joy to be hold, many many happy memories playing with these as a child.

I remember it was possible to get an electric circuit to which you could attach your toy cars and they would go around it. Always wanted one of those!
