Stretcha Fetcha Matchbox 1971 Superfast 1:64 Made in England Police

The Stretcha Fetcha model represents a fanciful emergency vehicle with an elongated, distinctive shape. The body is finished in white, which contrasts well with the transparent blue cab and red chassis. Two blue beacons are mounted on the roof and are the most recognisable detail of this version. The side body elements feature the inscription “Ambulance”, emphasising the vehicle’s theme. The construction combines a metal body with plastic parts, while the small scale of approximately 1:64 gives the model the typical proportions of a pocket-sized diecast model. This example dates from 1971, was made in England and bears the catalogue number MB45. It is a loose example, so the surface may show storage marks, paint wear or minor losses resulting from use.

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.
