Hovercraft Matchbox 1972 Superfast 1:64 Made in England Loose

The diecast model depicts a hovercraft approximately 72 mm long, made from a combination of a metal hull and a plastic upper section. Red is the dominant colour, complemented by silver structural elements and black details. At the rear are vertical black propulsion elements, giving the model a distinctive, technical appearance. The model has four wheels hidden beneath the hull, so it can be treated both as a miniature replica of a watercraft and as a classic diecast model for viewing or display in a collection. The simple, compact form reflects the style of models from the early 1970s. The example is loose, without packaging, and its condition should be assessed with the possible scuffs, paint chips and signs of use typical of a used model in mind.

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.
