Merci, Enzo - très interessant!
I think that the space for the tow hook has been filled and painted, which is why it looks quite rough

I agree with Idris: the painted lights look like they are for a model railway. Yellow front lights are very French! But wouldn't the grey wheels have been painted too?

Thank you for your reply guys.
Here is the pictures of axles.
Thank's again, it's quite interesting. If I had the car pictures would be clearer..
Things wich I don't understand, why the inside of boot is not painted but does not look smooth ?
Regarding this not painted insides, base should be silver and not raw isn't it ?
Best,
Enzo.

Those axle ends look good to me.
Only the very early models had silver-painted bases. The remaining models had plated ones. (See
here.)

Very interesting model, the front bumper seems to be at a very funny angle .

Hello, I’ve just joined. Been collecting just over a year and have the complete set of Matchbox Kingsize plus some Majors and Superkings. The only criteria I set myself was that all the tyres had to present, no cracks in windscreens and all components working. “Playworn” I believe is the correct term. I’ve doubled up some as I’m making a scrap yard scenario. This a very interesting and informative site.Thank you.

Welcome to the forum Bwian. Despite what you and all the other members may have seen on the forum so far, we would like to see what you have and please don't think because they are 'Play Worn' they won't be admired as much as the mint and boxed examples to be seen elsewhere on the forum!

Welcome to the forum 'Bwian'. When, like many of us, you think you've found a rare variation at a bargain price, only to find out later that it's a fake, always remember....
