Breakdown Van Matchbox 1985 Superfast 1:64 Roadside Assistance 24 Loose Grey

The Matchbox Breakdown Van is a small diecast model in approximately 1:64 scale, made from a combination of a metal body and plastic components. The vehicle has grey paintwork, complemented by clear yellow lines on the sides, highlighting its utilitarian character and roadside assistance function. At the rear there is a black, movable towing boom, which is the most distinctive element of the design. Number 24 is placed on the roof as an additional identifying detail. The simple body shape resembles a small service van, with a practically marked working area and a compact silhouette suited to play and display. This example dates from 1985 and was manufactured in Thailand. The term loose means that the model has been kept outside its original packaging, making it suitable for adding to a classic collection of utility vehicles.

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.
