This is one of my favourite MBX castings. I have never seen the yellow one actually available for any decent price, and the black one also seems hard to find in good condition.

Never had seen the yellow one before and like Ripa have always loved this casting. After a quick eBay search, I found a Buy it Now $9.99 for a lot of 4 Matchbox Collector's Choice which included the 944, 87 Corvette Convertible (black), '77 Corvette T-top (green), and Camaro Z/28 IROC (Purple). Judging by what the other listings for the 944 were going for (ranging from $12.99 to $38.00) , I thought I'd better jump on this listing rather than place a bid and hope for the best. The seller butchered the spelling of Camaro -CAMERO and Porsche -PORSCE which I'm sure didn't help his effort to sell at a high price :)

NICE catch! I love the Camaro casting too, luckily I got the Collector's Choice version from someone here, just can't remember who it came from :blush:

Of the 944 I also have a white one with "Duckhams" tampos somewhere in the boxes

Was the Duckhams version sold internationally or was it UK only? I bought mine from a flea market when I was like 8 or 9 so it probably has been sold here somehow..

I was Buying a WHITE Porsche 944 ( Different White Though Back in 2000
Did you end up buying it? If so, do you have a picture? You don't see a lot of white 944's that's for sure. It seems like almost every one is either black or red. Love the pearl white Matchbox. I just realized the only one I currently have is the black World Class release, although I had the green and red ones as a kid.

sorta But ended up GIVING it back ( It had PROBLEMS ) Just as the VW Scirocco I bought too
Scirocco came from House Mate , Porsche came from House mates Father .

The PORSCHE was just a PLAIN WHITE - The Scirocco was RED

I received a FEW 944 Turbos In mail TODAY , Had to take off so didnt get to FULL open the Shipments from the Nederlands/Netherlands

Think its 18 Cars -- 944's Is MB & ??Road/champs or Majorette??

This is JUst a Internet PICTURE
It was LIKE this in the COMMON WHITE ( Alpine White/ every Year ) That SAME year also had the RARE Pearl White Metallic ( 1986 ) Posted Image
