![]() Additional information can be attained by visiting Wikipedia.com. ![]() Scored this in a large lot of vintage Lesney Matchbox models last September at an Amish farm toy auction. It's in minty shape and looks okay if a bit too large scale wise compared to the 1/1. |

I had one of these when I was a kid and replaced it with another one a couple of years ago. Great memories!

I have two, one as shown as the COTD, and another with a black stripe label. ' Even though it's "fat" compared to the current Matchbox Caterham Superlight, which is technically the modern version of the Super Seven, there's just something that makes it better than the current one, likely because the old one was made in England.

"Simplify and add lightness." I have one of these a little worn and without a windshield that at some point will hopefully be made into a KAR 120C. |

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!

Nice older piece. Great changeup for a CotD choice. |

A real nice model from back when you could count on Matchbox to have some quirky British cars in the line-up.
