![]() For more info see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_W12 ![]() An interesting model of a complex car, not a bad effort for a dollar car. My introduction this auto was through an impressive model by MotorMax, but for Matchbox this one will do.

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!

Wish I had this MBX. It was from a good MBX era of interesting castings. |

Since the Motor Max version has been brought up, I'd like to point out to anyone who didn't know this already, that the Matchbox and Motor Max versions represent the different versions made by Volkswagen. The Matchbox represents the original, from 1997, and the Motor Max is designed after the 2001 version. There are some design differences, with the easiest to spot being the "gills" on the front corners of the 2001 / Motor Max, versus the single air intake duct on the front corners of the 1997 / Matchbox. |
