Mustang Piston Popper Matchbox 1973 Rolamatics 1:64 Made in England Loose

Matchbox Mustang Piston Popper is a diecast model approximately 76 mm long, made from a combination of a metal body and plastic components. The model is finished in an intense blue colour, combined with distinctive orange windows. The most eye-catching detail is the exposed silver engine mounted at the front of the vehicle. Its construction uses a Rotamatics mechanism, which makes the engine pistons visibly move when the model is rolled. The futuristic silhouette, open engine compartment and unusual proportions clearly distinguish this design from classic road cars. The catalogue number N10 is marked on the underside of the model. This example comes from production in England in 1973 and represents the Rolamatics series, known for combining a small format with simple mechanical functions. The loose condition means that the model is not presented in its original packaging.

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.
