Hi!
I'am sure many of you know the clear boxes with 'matchbox' logo printed on it Lesney used for the german marked. Picture from Christian Falkensteiner:

Which models were originally issued in these boxes?

Christian states these boxes were made for a "special series". I was thinking of models like the Golf I ADAC, BMW 3.0 CSI POLIZEI, etc...

Greetings,
Linus

Yes, those German issues only came in those clear boxes.

However, I believe that the normal basic range models were also available in those boxes in Germany in 1977, if only for a short time period.
