Taking a moment before I collapse and take a siesta before my family arrives, I wanted to show these off:

There is currently a metallic gold as well as light green version for sale at a local antique store.

Which is rarer?

I don't know, but I would grab both if they were in front of me and I could afford them. If only one, I think the gold, but that's a hunch from someone who doesn't know old MBX very well at all.

Nice pic Wes! The gold I believe, is a Superfast. The green should be a regular wheels. Wes has the two different shade variations of the blue.

Those Landy's are beauty's alright, one of my favorite old Mbx.


Cody, As far as the gold, that would likely be the standard Superfast version, and I want to point out that gold regular wheels versions would be pretty rare or a custom/fake.

Matchbox did make a dark green regular wheel, but light green sounds like it could possibly be a shade variation of a gold version, or possibly a very faded blue one, or a custom....I hadn't heard of that color before.
Hope that helps.

edit, Oh I see someone already shared the info, never mind. :D

It is actually an aqua color.

The green one was the first version. The met. gold usually is seen with the superfast wheels but I understand a few made it out with regular wheels which would make it the harder to find version.

That sounds like it could be the blue regular wheel version then, like shown by Juantoo, I have one of those in a kind of an aqua shade too, so in that case I'd think the gold SF is probably the harder to find of the two, except I haven't checked price differences in a long time.

Beautiful models from the golden era of Matchbox. The Landy is a top- ten fave of mine.

Purty purty!

I have a metallic gold Landy with the SuperFast wheels. I think I found it at an antique store but don't remember for sure.
