| | |  | 1955 UK Matchbox Daimler Ambulance and Plastic Copy(Reference #03-12-02m)
 In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Matchbox vehicles were used as models for producing plastic copies in Hong Kong. On offer here is an original Matchbox Daimler (no 14) with its slightly larger Hong Kong plastic copy. The Matchbox original has slight wear to the ridged parts of the body sides and a partially damaged Red Cross roof transfer. The Hong Kong plastic Daimler ambulance is in perfect condition. Whether you collect ambulances or Matchbox cross-over toys, this interesting duo may appeal.

Issued by Matchbox under the Speed King label between 1971 and 1979, this Easy Rider Tricycle was no K47 in the range. The tricycle is made of diecast and plastic, and measures 4.5" long. It is complete and intact, and in good condition: it just suffers from minor paint loss and wear to the edges of the flame decal that adorns the back of the seat. (WR) US$20.00

|  | 1959 Boxed Matchbox No 68 Austin Radio Truck Mk II(Reference #03-4-9)
Issued in 1959, this Austin army wireless truck is in very good condition and is complete with its original box. This has not fared as well as the model over the years as it now lacks one large and one small flap from one end, and very minor scuffing and creasing. If you're a fan of military Matchbox, then this could well be the item for you. (#) US$44.00
Price: £22.00 | |
| 1958 Boxed Matchbox N0 49 M3 Personnel Carrier(Reference #03-4-7)
Issued in 1958, this M3 personnel carrier is the version with the white star on the bonnet. The model is in very good paint condition: there is just some slight decal loss to the edges of the ring round the star. The box has not fared as well as the model over the years as it now lacks one main end flap, and also suffers from creasing and scuffing. However, if you're a fan of military Matchbox, then this could be the item for you. (#) US$44.00

|  | 1967 Boxed Matchbox No 1e Mercedes Truck(Reference #5-6-926)
Issued in 1967 as the last number one in the 1-75 series, this Mercedes truck has a turquoise body, an orange plastic canopy, and black plastic wheels. The truck is in mint condition, but the box has suffered somewhat over the years with cardboard loss to one end that affects two side panels and two flaps. (#) US$20.00

| 1978 - 79 Boxed Matchbox No 21f Superfast Renault 5TL(Reference #87-167)
Made between 1978 and 1979, this boxed Matchbox Renault 5TL is the version with the metallic blue body, tan interior, and black base. It is old shop stock and the model and the box are therefore in mint condition. There is just very slight creasing to one side of the box. (#) US$20.00
Price: £10.00 |  | |
|  | 1955 Boxed Matchbox No 12 Land Rover(Reference #4-9-509)
This delightful model of a Land Rover measures 1.75" long, and is in very good condition. There are some slight paint chips around the rim of the driver's hat, but otherwise the vehicle is near perfect. The box is, however, not so good, as it is worn, torn, and creased. One end flap is missing, and there is a small hole in one pictorial side of the box. If Land Rovers are your passion, then you really should have one of these in your collection.

| 1960 UK Matchbox No 46 Boxed Pickfords Van(Reference #03-4-28)
Produced in 1960, the dark blue Pickfords van with the three line decal measures 2.5" long. This example is in very good condition, with near perfect transfers, and only very slight paint chips to the front of the cab. The box is good too, although it is creased around the edges, and (sadly) is missing one entire end flap. Nevertheless, it is one of the harder to find variants of this model, and is therefore worthy of consideration. (#) US$150.00

|  | 1957 UK Matchbox 37 Karrier Coca-Cola - Uneven Load(Reference #03-12-02h)
Matchbox first produced no 37, the KARRIER BANTAM COCA COLA LORRY with the uneven load and metal wheels, in 1957. This early version had an orange-yellow body, with COCA-COLA side and rear transfers. It is now one of the harder to find variants of this model. The lorry is 2.25" long, and is in reasonable condition with some minor paint chips and transfer loss, mainly to the rear decal.
