I showed the pink one and someone asked to see the Magenta one with it.

Mercedes-Benz L-series truck.

Some older construction vehicles. As a kid I enjoyed playing with these the most and military vehicles came in second.

Matchbox did a great job on this bike with detailing and I really like the color combo.

This car has a very cool story. I posted it before with the red one that has the factory error wheel.

From the web:

I have just come across your letter by chance. I can give you all the details relating to the Vauxhall Guildsman model as I was the designer and modeler of the original way back in the 1968/69 competition year! I still have the original model, sketch plans and Vauxhall information.

I was placed third in the competition. The competition ran from 1965 to 1970, I entered three times being successful in year one in the top twenty five, year two 4th place and finally year three 3rd.

Lesneys (Matchbox) approached Vauxhall to produce a model from one of the thousands of designs submitted over the five year period, mine being the only one selected!

All entrants were given a number and all rights for publicity were given to Vauxhall Motors as part of the competition, however ,two years after the competition I was awarded a further ‚ £25 for the model being produced. Out of interest the second and fourth place winners went on to work for Jaguar Cars and Land Rover design
