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? Edited by cody6268, Aug 31 2013, 03:30 PM.

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.

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. Edited by JustDavid, Sep 2 2013, 12:43 AM.
