I have never seen one of those Matchbox vans here in Canada. If anybody is coming over here please bring me one, I'll even buy it from you. I love the light green one especially since that is what I'm planning to paint my Traveller. I need one for my Mini collection. I have some of the various Mini Saloon Hot Wheels I could trade.


I'm sure I can dig some up for you Nige :wink:

Hey Thanks Scott,
Just bring it by next time you are in the neighbourhood! I don't think I'll be over your way for a while, I'm too busy building my practice and my Mini too.

They tend to get released in the States before any other country for some reason , we get them about 6 to 8 months later . The cream dairy one was only in a pack of 10 matchbox cars though , the rest are or have been all availible on single cards . If you know anyone in the states get them to keep an eye out for you .

I think it was the gold one only available in the 10 pack :wink: I found a couple of the purple vans on Ebay US recentely but am still hunting the "Best of British" Grey van, so keep you eyes out!

Nige,

I have got a green, purple, cream and gold one just about packed and on their way to you with a few other goodies. Just the cars though as they were not on the cards.

Cheers,

Scott
