Super G.T. Br 17/18 Matchbox 1983 Superfast 1:51 Made in England RESCUE

The Super G.T. Br 17/18 is a distinctive diecast model in approximately 1:64 scale, made from a combination of die-cast metal and plastic. The body has a wedge-shaped, dynamic coupé silhouette and bright red rescue paintwork. A white RESCUE inscription is visible on the sides and selected surfaces, complemented by a chequerboard pattern that emphasises the vehicle's service character. The black windows create a clear contrast with the bodywork, while the front bumper is fitted with additional spotlights. There is a hole in the roof where a missing warning lamp was once fitted, which is an important part of this example's condition. The model measures approximately 76 mm in length and has numerous paint losses and signs of use. Its Loose condition gives it an authentic, heavily used appearance, suitable for collectors interested in older rescue models.

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.
