Let us go back to the topic.
We still have a copy.

Greetings Mike & Nico

A little MGA here, made in Hong Kong.

That's very cool John, never seen that one before.

Cheers,
Gavin

Thank you Johnboy for posting the MG here. The wheels and solid windscreen tell me it is one of the models directly marketed by 'BLUE-BOX', but as usual it will probably be found with packaging from the likes of 'GORDY MITE'.

Here is a similar product, made from the harder type plastic and looking very familiar to collectors of a certain refuse truck. I don't have a specific brand name for this, but it is close in size to the original "Matchbox" version and one company who have previously been marketing commercial models based on the "Matchbox" range were 'GORDY MITE'.

This is large scale (approx 160mm long)

Ooooooh JB what a big toy you have!

Extreme copy from metal.

I believe we have seen some of these elsewhere and they are clearly 'Inspired By' models instead of 'Direct Copies'. One of the interesting features of that particular model, is how close a match the paint colour is with the Lesney original, intentional or just lucky!
