Matchbox cars are not 70 years old and Mattel is celebrating this by making some limited edition models from recycled zinc. There are some fantastic classics available too, which cover several decades of Matchbox Production.

Matchbox’s heritage has been inventing highly detailed and realistic models which have been a young boy’s favourite for many years. They have also been collectable too, and these are likely to become instant collectors items.

The 70th anniversary die cast vehicles will be from a combination of collectors favourites and other iconic vehicles, each of them will having special platinum details.
