Car Carrier Matchbox 2012 1:64 Loose Orange Truck

The Matchbox Car Carrier is a metal-and-plastic diecast model in approximately 1:64 scale, measuring 74 mm in length. The vehicle has an orange driver's cab, a black chassis and a black body with an element resembling a tipper body. The body is movable, which is the most important functional detail of this example and allows its position relative to the frame to be changed. The blue windows contrast with the intense colour of the cab, while the construction-themed decoration on the body emphasises the truck's working character. The simple body shape, solid proportions and clearly defined utility features give the model the appearance of a vehicle found on a building site or used to transport equipment. The example is loose, outside its original packaging, and its condition has been rated as 3.0, so typical signs of storage and play may be present.

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.
