And then came the Volkswagen Beetle
Matchbox decided to model the early split rear windscreen version which became the ancestor of many millions of Beetles
Once again my light blue Beetle is packed away in a box so I have once again used Ghosthunter's picture to illustrate the first Macau Beetle
and then the next two were made in China
Now you must indulge me.
I was born in and started collecting Matchbox toys in South Africa
In about 1994 or 1995 a collector in Johanesburg (who's mane I've unfortunately forgotten) commissioned a number of Beetles which illustrated the then new South African flag. I read about them in the magazine "Model Collector". I contacted him and obtained one. It is the only Code 3 model that I have on display. I think it's well done.
