I have always liked this little MG from MB - not sure why but it has always been among the "favorites" from the regular wheels days - besides who could go wrong with a car that came with a driver, a dog and a tow hitch. And in those days MB always had something to go on the tow hitch.

Based on the fact that so few cars have drivers, I thought it was odd for Matchbox to include one here. But it makes for good conversation, right? Here are my 4-door MGs. ![]() ![]() Superfast in green ![]() ![]() Superfast in blue (Car Of The Day factoid: a blue Superfast version from another member's collection was featured as COTD on June 22, 2010!) ![]() ![]() |

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
|
A great older casting!! Stands up well. Too bad MBX didn't think of having older tools like this saved for reissue, like HW does. |

Thanks Crafty for showing these great pics of what's my all-time favorite diecast! I know for a fact that one of these was the very first toy car I ever held in my hands! My mother bought one for me when I was VERY young (no "not suitable for children under 36 months" health & safety nonsense back then!) because she thought it looked similar to the car that she drove, which was actually an Austin A40 Farina. I still have that beaten up old MG in my collection. I guess it was the starting point of a life long hobby for me. Happy memories!
