Matchbox SF-4 Double loop race set Canadian issue!

[Sir_Matchbox_96]

Hi all,
I got a nice package the last day including some accessories for the Superfast track.
Next to a complete Sky Jack and some more stuff there is a Matchbox SF-4 Double loop race set in canadian vinyl case. I think it was only canada who got the sets in vinyl cases instead of the normal cardboard boxes. The design on the case is very interesting, it shows a group of matchbox including somer prepros! The Mg, Iso grifo, Ford Mustang, Ford Cortina and the Mercedes 230 sl look standart to me, but I think the others are well known prepros. The VW 1500 Saloon seems to have the never released disc wheels fitted. The Miura looks very dark yellow to me. Vw and Lambo Marzal no comment

As I said, it looks like the Sky jack is complete, as the SF-13 Fireball space Leap do, too. The Canadian set is not complete, but I have some spares to make it complete. There was a flood of track joiners, a manual for the pacemaker and two lealets showing the Matchbox track sets and accessories. Blue shark is an update.

What a great find!
I love the SF-4 Double Loop Set.
I think it also came in a cardboard box with a handle and four or five cut out squares where the cars were housed.
The sky jack is good to, especially with the box.
I love these track sets and have loads of them.

Cheers, Steve

Sir Matchbox,
Here's what I have,
SF 3, 4 , 5, and 8. I know one exists for SF 9 but I don't have it. I haven't seen any plastic cases for SF 1, 2, 6 or 7.

This one looks just like the one in my toyroom

I believe the vinyl sf4 like shown in the first post was also distributed in The Netherlands as I have found three examples over here, all bought from people who got it when they were a kid.

Hi Alwin,
Highly likely to be yours. I've only seen two! Yours and one for sale at Houten when I used to visit years ago. I think I've met you once or twice.
Have you seen any of the other sets with the cut outs and extra cars included?
Interesting about the vinyl cases in your country. My be the people had Canadian relatives.
I've seen a few for sale here in New Zealand on trade me but know of none from new here.

Hi Steve,
Yes, the one pictured is mine, I havent seen any other sets with the cut outs and extra cars. Sadly my set is missing the inner part to hold the five cars.
