MATCHBOX LESNEY SUPERFAST 4X4 OPEN BACK TRUCK
 MB 63F-04 (MIB)

This is a Matchbox/Lesney MB 63F-04 die cast of a 4x4 Open Back Truck (superfast wheels variant) in Orange dating from 1982 along with its original Type L box.

The truck is in excellent condition. This model is noteworthy in so far as it was one of the last variants made by Lesney England prior to their takeover by Matchbox International in 1982 and is likewise the only one pre-takeover to have an ‘F’ series suffix. As such from a collector’s viewpoint it marks the end of the Lesney era and is important accordingly.

The Type L box is in very good condition with a little localised creasing and light handling/corner wear. The box is the type without “NEW” and with MIR3 text on the picture faces (this is the England 1982 box variant and is correct for this model).

The truck has the following characteristics :-

·         Silver Maltese Cross wheels

·         Dark Red glazing

·         “4X4” decal on bonnet/hood “24” to doord

·         Unpainted base

·         Black plastic canopy frame

·         Spare wheel on flat back

Model designation is 63F-05 (*Note* 13D in USA) from :-
