Funny story: My brother is a completionist and a preservationist. In the early 1980s, he heard that Matchboxes weren't going to be made in England anymore and he figured they might be worth something, so he went to the local toy store (in rural New Hampshire,) and bought as many as his allowance and lawn-mowing savings would get him. This car is from that stash, and it is time for buying it to go to a new owner.
Matchbox Die Cast Metal Ford Cortina, gold with black racing stripes. With 1982 box, taken out for pictures. The car has a small scratch on the roof
Made by Lesney in 1979 England.
