Description
The Matchbox diecast model presents a Mercedes-Benz E 430 Wagon with close attention to detail. The black body paintwork contrasts with the light-coloured plastic interior and silver details on the trim, bumpers and wheels. The embossed underbody, made from a metal base, includes pressed details of the engine and drivetrain, as well as the identifiers MERCEDES BENZ E 430 WAGON THAILAND and the year 1999. The model's weight comes from its sturdy metal construction with plastic elements, with no moving parts apart from the rolling wheels. Small paint chips and signs of wear are visible, typical of collector use. The body is solid, the proportions resemble a classic estate car, and the light-coloured interior contrasts with the black bodywork. The plastic wheels have a subtle pattern, with slight paint imperfections that give the model a used appearance. The model reflects the late 90s style and the simple, budget-oriented Matchbox line, characterised by functionality over detail. It references the real vehicle in 1:64 scale, featuring the characteristic drivetrain layout on the underside and the lack of opening parts typical of this series.
Condition and restoration
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.
