There were a few more adverts, but not of Matchbox items, so have left them out, but will put them in other threads. Each image has had some minor editing regards rotating and brightness control.

One advert is said to be special to me. If it is above, I am not sure which one so maybe other members can spot it or Gary could give us a clue :D

I would love to know what that the model shown in the bottom left of this advert is? A prototype Superfast model?

Can we get a better image of it. Interestingly it appears to have been numbered ‘80’?

Wow that first advertisement brings back memories. I had that Lock Up Firebird as a kid. I thought mine was a Kidco one. I never knew Matchbox made one or licensed it(or vice versa). I will have to look for that now. I think I still have the key too but no car.
