1911 Maxwell Roadster Matchbox Models of Yeasteryear 1:43

This diecast model depicts a Maxwell Roadster from 1911, styled as an early 20th-century car. The model has an open turquoise body with a mint shade, characteristic of vehicles from the pioneering era of motoring. A tall radiator is visible at the front, complemented by a gold-coloured finish, with round headlamps positioned on either side. The gold colouring also covers the slim windscreen frame and the wheels, giving the miniature an elegant, display-oriented character. The interior features a burgundy seat, which contrasts well with the light-coloured body. Black tyres are fitted to classic wheels reminiscent of car designs from the beginning of the last century. The body is made of metal, while selected elements, such as the seat, windscreen and small undercarriage parts, are made of plastic. The length of approximately 88 mm corresponds to scale 1:43. This is a loose example without packaging, with its collectible condition rated 3.5, meaning visible signs of use while retaining its full visual appeal.

Used, collectible diecast model; after restoration it is like new (without a box, unless a box is shown in the photos). We restore models with 3D-printed replacements for missing parts and special paints made for restoring model cars. If the model shows signs of use, it has been intentionally left partly unrestored to keep its individual vintage character. The photos show the actual condition of the model.

The date given in the title or description is not always the date the casting was made. It may refer to the design of the model, the first casting series or the production of the real car. We give the dates the manufacturer states on the base. If in doubt, check all information against the photo of the base of the model.
