yes, the Aussie Dollar isn’t doing to well at the moment. (The set was sold to another continent)

I've got a friend who has one of these garages and the garage is in two parts that side together to make the one larger garage. I'd never seen this before. Has anyone else
got a two part garage? It was bought here in New Zealand.
I do have photo's so when I get sorted on the up loading of photo's I'll post them.
Cheers Steve

Hello Steve,
I have this G1
Superfast set where the garage is the two interlocking sections.
I have removed it from the box and the complete title is Superfast G-1 Matchbox Service Station and includes Service Ramp and Interlocking Forecourt.
I have placed some of the contents on the card section. In the second image I have included the box showing artwork on back and the superfast models that are included are the three depicted on the left.
Couple if pics attached, click on image for high resolution.
Regards
Bert

Hi Bert,
I have never seen this set before. Thanks for posting the pictures.
I have seen it in the 1970 and 1971 collectors catalogues but it's obviously fully assembled so I just assumed the garage was one piece as were the other earlier sets from the late regular wheel era.
I like the box art work. Can you some more photos of the box.
Thanks Steve

Hello Steve,
In addition to my images above I have added the pic of the box and models as well as an interesting extension to the use of the moulds
here in your new thread.
