Thank you very much Fixer. Then I Will try a photo-post. This is a 1/37 Citroën SM of the maker "Ruestes" made in Argentina. I think that it is of the ´80s. I found the picture in a group dedicated to diecast models made in Argentina. It is obviously based in the matchbox model.

There have been all manner of Matchbox copies over the years, but I think this one takes the cake.

Edit: photo added.

Could I please remind Members that posts such as the one quoted above become meaningless once the Ebay listing has finished and been deleted. Although I appreciate that it is more work, this is why it is better to add a copy of the listing photograph to the post (using the Ebay listing URL as the photograph's title by way of acknowledging the source for copyright reasons) than to use just a simple hyperlink.(Nothing personal Squid, just saying.)

No offense taken at all. I have added a photo to the listing. It is indeed a little work for me: I have to switch to my phone (if one can rename downloads and/or not have to wait up to hours for them to show up on an Amazon Fire, I have no idea how), switch to eBay's desktop version, and resize the photo. I have to look into getting another PC!

Back to the model in question: I suspect it may have been from a manufacturer whose products have been previously seen in this thread.

It does appear to have the same wheels as previousely seen on Kelly Toys polythene Yesteryear copies.

You are very welcome.

Here is the "Ford Group 6" made in Argentina by the trade "Galgo".

I have a set of 8 of these all different copies of matchbox models.
I've probably posted pictures of them way back at start of this thread as it's been going a while now.

This is a Matchbox model of "Datsun 126x" beside an copy of it of "Aguti Toy" of Argentina. The two pieces belong to Diego Escobar´s collection from Argentina.
