Such gorgeous cars and memories. I was 10 in 1973. I've still got a lot of these, including the blue vinyl case, filled with these.The " clipper" had wagging exhaust pipes!

I had the blue case also, I kept my favourite cars in it.

I was 10 in 1973, so this is a stroll down memory lane for me. I can remember leafing through Matchbox catalogues and racing cars along the ground in the playground at school.

Gosh. I had so many of these. Loads of memories flow back. So many hours of play with all these. I loved the rolamatics series, especially the ones with the bouncy engines or the pistons that could be seen moving up and down. How old I grew...lots of thanks for the upload from a French 51 year old kid.

Superfast were my life as a kid. Hotwheels were on the darkside. I had some nice corgi junior whizzwheels too. The old tod sweeny stock cars etc., Well, I say 'had'........I've bought them all again in the last couple of years. Got almost every superfast casting. Great vid!! Thanks. 😊

Nad takim katalogiem siedziało się godzinami podziwiając nawet kolorystykę. Pod koniec lat 70 tych miałem pierwsze swoje modele - szary autobus piętrowy z takim kulkami na kołach i lila-fioletową ciężarówkę wożącą rury (dokładnie taka jak 4:31) Potem ojciec pojechał na kontrakt i miałem już więcej. Zapamiętałem piękno metalicznego lakieru w kolorze purpury i niezwykłość designu wnętrz oglądaną przez żółte szybki, w PRL nie było zabawek takiej tonacji. Piękne były też obrazki na pudełkach, dziś jako ilustrator jeszcze bardziej doceniam kunszt autora tych pędzących aut. Robisz świetną robotę. PZ!

By 1973 Matchbox was imitating Mattel's Hot Wheels. My childhood collection was almost entirely the 1/64 scale vehicles that looked realistic but this catalogue mostly has fantasy models in that size. My mom and Grandma must have been able to still find many new pre-1973 models to give me.

Growing up in Europe, I had never seen a Ford pickup before, let alone one with a canopy. Then after traveling to Canada in 1978, I couldn't believe how many I saw for real! I was however familiar with the Mercedes ambulance. Pretty much none of the real north American cars were seen in Europe though.

Como o senhor conseguiu essa relíquia de catálogo,faça a organização da coleção pelo catálogo ou como sugeri num vídeo anterior pelo ano,não pela numeração pois muda muito conforme o ano essa e a sugestão.

I wasn’t a big fan of sweets as a kid so my mum bought me a toy car every week instead , of course I was a proper lad and they all ended up crashed, burnt out, flying of bridges etc. My friends brother however was a little odd and kept all his pristine, in a box, never played with. He did sell them years later and used the money for a deposit on a house! Still weird though!
