I would love to take a spin in one of these. I’ve always thought that for the time that these were probably like driving on a cloud.

Long story short i accidentally logged out of my best account and lost the email so I made a new one

Not sure why it didn't post. Try again.

I was very happy to find this one.

Matchbox '74 Truck n Trailer from the same series as the two Scouts i posted earlier.

Picked up today at the Long Beach Antique Fair for practically nothing.

I originally posted this in the main MBX sub and was advised to post here too. Bought this 1986 UniChem van this week from eBay and just had to open it.

I think it looks so good!

Recently acquired for the collection or may move them on. '74 Scout

My second attempt at a paint job on this Peterbuilt which transported the Renault F1 cars while in the States

Recently acquired for the collection and in great condition.

I wanted a gold one, but the price of a factory example with all it's paint was HIGH.. So made me own tribute.

I'm partial to a Matchbox 935. I do also have the yellow World class variant and the red Turbo 2 pull back.

This is a very special car for me. It was the first car and toy that I ever had. How do I restore the paint or repaint it? I could attempt but I am scared I might ruin it. Are there shops or people in the US that might specialize in this?
