Super G.T. Matchbox 1987 1:57 Racing Car 18 Loose Red

The Matchbox Super G.T. model in approximately 1:57 scale depicts a rounded racing car made with a metal body and plastic elements. The body is bright red, complemented by light blue stripes and a silver coating that has only survived in fragments. Heavily worn edges, rubbing on the sides and roof, and paint loss give the piece a distinctly used, collectible character. The rounded cabin has black glazing, as does the rear engine cover. Characteristic round headlights are visible at the front, while the low body and compact proportions emphasise the vehicle's sporting purpose. The number 13 appears on the body, while the model marking also includes the printed number 18, which may result from the decorations used or differences in the description of the piece. This diecast model retains the simple, solid construction typical of its era and is an interesting example of a loose model from the late 1980s.

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.
