Another later Matchbox Yesteryear model. This one is 1979-1982. The model was released in 1973 but that had a gold body with red trim or the other way around. This paint scheme is a bit more realistic and less garish.
The 1;1 version had a rather large V-12 engine thus the long hood. It was 4480c and was designed by WO Bentley. It would go over 100 MPH which is respectable for that time. They were not free then and now they go for over 1 Million USD.
Got a couple boxed Matchbox coming up and one them is carded. It will be very exciting. For Matchbox collectors at least.
Nice one! Great detail on this one.
Great job on keeping it in pristine condition. I have the same one only I played with a lot so it is not in the terrific shape yours is.
Thank you very much Scott.
And thank you very much maxcollector.
