I'm sensing a vintage MB theme this week. Did this one at any point have opening doors to it? |

matchbox

some of the very early issues have been found with opening doors and one sold for a four figure sum if i remember correctly. red sf versions have sold for over £4000. this has to be one of my absolute favourite mb's in my collection and i remember it was one of the models i saw in a pic and just had to get one. i now have 4. i was lucky enough to find one in an antiques centre for £1.00 and its in good displayable condition |

I've never seen any purple models with opening doors, nor have ever heard of any. A very small number of opening door red ones are out there, and as Harlan mentioned, cost a LOT of money. Shade variations: darker and lighter purple shades. It's the lighter one that Anthony and Harlan have displayed. I have the darker one. |

It's like, all of a sudden, this model's become very popular, and very sought after. In the '90s, it wasn't any more legendary than any other transitional... |
