Matchbox No.53 Mercedes-Benz Coupe in red with black baseplate and black plastic wheels.

First issued in 1963, this superb model is in 99.9% mint condition, with a little light scratches to the paint on one side. For the best idea see the pictures.

The box is original, complete and very near mint, 9/10. There are a number of small brown stains to the card on various sides, and a little wear to one of the bottom corners. Still a nice clean feeling box.

Here's a very rare chance! We have just bought a beautiful collection of ex-shop stock Matchbox, from the early 1960's. They have not seen the light of day for nearly 60 years!  All have come from a toyshop in Brighton, that closed many years ago and are in incredible condition. You will not find better!                                                                 

The models are fantastic, and the boxes are in amazing shape. You very rarely see Matchbox for sale in such remarkable condition. You will be proud to own them, and I'm sure, they will be an excellent investment.                                                                       

Be sure to check out all the listings that will be going on in the next few weeks. There are many duplicates, however the one in the photograph is the one you will be buying.
