Breakdown Van Matchbox 1985 Superfast 1:64 Roadside Aid 24 HOURS RELAY

The Breakdown Van is a metal and plastic diecast model of a roadside assistance vehicle, made in an approximate 1:64 scale and dating from 1985. The body is bright yellow, associated with roadside rescue vehicles, and its compact shape resembles a service van. At the rear there is a black, movable towing boom, which is the most important functional feature of this diecast model. Red and black prints, including the wording “24 HOURS RELAY”, appear on the sides and other parts of the body. The contrasting markings break up the uniform yellow colour and emphasise the vehicle’s service character. The construction combines a metal body with plastic elements, and the model measures approximately 87 mm in length. The item is offered loose, without packaging, so typical signs of storage or previous use should be expected.

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.
