Hi Nick,

I'm a great fan of your website, especially 1-75 "the superfasts are coming"! Everytime I take a look at those information, I will learn more and more
about this fascinating hobby. Thank you and your friends for doing this for us!
But I have one question: why haven't you added #59B Mercury to the list like #55B. Isn't it also a direct descendant from #55A as #55B from #73A?
Or would it be beyond the scope as there are sooooo many variations on this casting?

regards Peter

It is coming sometime in 2014 - the H and I box models will be done next,1st up is the #32 Bora,text written last week and now Nick is digging up photos and making the variation table

Good news, thank you. I just thought, that only models including F/G type boxes and their derivatives will be listed, but in this case......

Hi Peter.
I want to eventually have all of the British made Matchbox toys included but at the moment I am very busy but I hope to make a start soon.
Mick (sms88) is writing the text and sorting out the variations, I just have to set out the page and put it online but it still needs a whole day at least to do each page.

Hello Nick 'n' Mick,

I didn't know, that you want to expand the list to all numbers - now you made me curious about it and I cannot await it!!!

BUT of course I really appreciate your work so far and you all have my honest respect for making such a whopper

Thank you, Peter

I have a big smile, this is very welcomed news guys.

Nick and Mick can i thank you both in advance for all the hard work. It is very easy for us members to forget the amount of effort and personal time you guys have had to give up to make Nicks site what it is today.

Hi All

here two diffrent Base Variants.Cheers Mathias.

Mine got the base like the one in the front. What could be the reason for this reinforcement as otherwise the same plate?
Do you know it?
