64b MG 1100

Post by Idris »

None of he NAMC’s “Catalog of all Series Matchbox Models” (first edition) , the AIM “1-75 Series Regular Wheels” catalogue (second printing, 1983), Houghton or Stannard lists a variation not already covered by Nick. U.K. Matchbox did not cover the model.

Nick's catalogue page for the model lists casting variations identified by Antonin (Diecast) which are internal to the model and so are invisible without either destroying it or using an endoscope!
Mathias (Mbox75) identified an interior variation consisting of the addition of headrests to the front seats. This appears to have occurred late in the model's RW life.
It should be noted that the NAMC Catalog does list the crossover SF model as being darker green and having a rich cream, instead of a cream, interior. Can anyone confirm this difference and, if so, does the darker green body and/or rich cream interior occur with RW?

The base plate variation is unvisible, the body cast variation is visible (against the light source)
