Hello All,
I rarely use VBD, but thought it would be nice to share a picture of my MB54 Ford Capri with you.

Cheers

Antoine

Nice, looks like a pre-pro I have seen before.

The Capri is one of my favorite Superfast models...it looks good with the 4-spoke wheels.

Superb prepro model Antoine, that is a very rare indeed and very different to the production casting. Good to see you posting here on VBD, there are a few members here who are not on MCF who will enjoy seeing your collection of stunning Matchbox.

Hi Rob,
Thank you!
Your picture is of the same model that I have. In fact it is the only one known to exist in metallic lime green with black hood/bonnet.
There are others with the same casting known to exist in yellow with black hood/bonnet.
