I'm 65 as well. I have many of these, but no boxes - most were bought for me by my mom long before I turned 10.

Great video! Pink floyd and matchbox all in beautiful condition . However when I look at some of these wonderful little cars and trucks it sometimes makes me a little sad because I had many of these when I was younger and I wrecked quite a few and now though I have a very substantial collection of die cast and model cars, i still haven't forgiven myself for what I lost way back when. I have been able to find a few of those cars in the video though!

yeah, the only thing that is missing is an umbrella, a bowler hat, a cup of tea and an original newspaper about the Profumo case with a smiling Christine Keeler.

That collection is amazing!! Thanks for sharing that.

Great collection and even greater soundtrack! Pink Floyd and childhood! Great choice! Cheers, from Portugal

Awesome. I really enjoy watching. Love those old green Mercs.

Classic MatchBox is more gorgeous than modern one. Thank you so much for reviewing worthy DiecastCar S!!

Beautiful collection. I wish them all were here next those I have for many years. Lol. Love them all. Congrats

TONS of long,long gone(I'm 60) old friends on display here. Takes me back. There was a hardware store in my old neighborhood(I'm still living very close to the area) and it sold Matchbox vehicles for 50 cents. They had a display case you could turn with the actual toys for sale safely behind the counter(an older,not very trusting husband and wife;the wife followed EVERYONE around the store). I can still see the boxes. Late 60s and early 70s. I also remember a display of DINKY TOYS at the Eaton's(I'm Canadian) department store in the Halifax Shopping Centre and another one in a drugstore at the same mall. I came to like HOT WHEELS too, but the UK made diecasts were better made,no wobbly wheels and more realistic looking.

A fabulous collection. Wish I still had mine. Funnily enough I gave them away about the time that I got into Pink Floyd. My mum worked in the Lesney factory by the way. So I had a lot of them.

I still have many of these! Remember getting the mustang with steerable front wheels-- got it with cereal box tops I believe; took forever to arrive! The tracks for my sno-trac sadly fell apart. Remember the station wagon with Hunter and dog, farm tractor and trailer with barrels, Mercedes ambulance with removable stretcher....

Nice collection and good music!!!

Now that is a Matchbox collection. And all in pristine condition too!

Damn!!! Christmas 1967 Revisited, Hell...I had Half or the Matchbox Cars that was Photographed in This Clip! #20, 64 Impala Taxi, #22, 64 Pontiac Grand Prix, #62, the Rentaset T.V. Van, I Love the Van because of the Rear Roll up Doors, I still have the 2 Vans from 50 Years ago today on Christmas Day, were My Favorites, & the Others. & Did not Know that #39 the 60 Pontiac Convertible Existed!!!

Matchbox... Please come !! All my childhood.... From 1970 to 1975 my Dad offered me a Matchbox every month !

The Legendary collection! Excellent

I love this. Beautiful collection.

First Great choice of tunes. Next, I rember having most of the cars you showed. I loved my MATCHBOX!

I have one of those BP trucks,bought at an antique shop several years ago and well played with. Pretty sure I had one when I was a kid. Didn't have many DINKY TOYS but did have an Oldsmobile and Lady Penelope's Rolls from that THUNDERBIRDS show. I remember fruitlessly looking for it at my folks' place in the early 90s knowing full well that my Mom had likely tossed it many years previous. Moms will do that. lol.

great collection and for me a retrospective trip

I've just cried a tear. ....we used to have these as kids in the 70s

Wow!!!....unbelievable!!!...awesome collection of matchbox!!!!

Very good collection and nice music...🤝👍👍👍👍👍

Mit denen habe ich in meiner Kindheit gespielt. Es ist schön diese noch mal im heilen Zustand zu sehen ! 👍👍👍

So. Many. Variations. What a collection.

That's a Museum right there! Great video!

My favorite is the Turquoise Lincoln. I have a mint condition one in original box.

These Lesney cars brought us kids a lot of fun a fifty cents

I had most of those as a kid. Still have some in the loft, including a gold Landrover safari and the horsebox it has always had with it, a Rangerover. , a few Capris, Escort mk2's a DAF car transporter, Scammel container truck and a Scammel box wagon. Layland flatbed. A SAAB Sonnet. SAAB 9000. A bin wagon, a Stalwart and a few others. May even still have the road roller too. The one I wish I still had must have been a factory reject or something. The BP towtruck, one of the ones I had had a green cab and yellow back. Oddly enough with real cars I have owned they are mirrored by the toy cars I had. Have owned Landrovers, a Rangerover, Capris, Escort nk2. And have had quite a few Saabs, in fact I still drive a SAAB.

That's an awesome collection!

Nice collection you got there u lucky bastard!✌️

I just subscribed to your channel and hello from New Hampshire usa.

Love the Floyd!.....................WOW!

The best toys ever being in history when they were made in uk .

Nice showcase nice cars and of course good song

Very good music, thanx awsome video

Wonderfull colection !!! Congratulations...! Fábio, Brasil.

delight for the eyes

Great vid and great music

I loved seeing the collection once I turned off the PF screetch lol. Obviously before they decided to add bass. Love PF but this... Not so much sry I have most of these since my childhood though most have been carefully played with. No crashes!!. I'm envious of that part of the collection I am missing and his fantastic display space and shelves. Minor change with the video, linger at the beginning of each shelf so we can enjoy the rare singles there

These cars are shining like a diamond.

Awesome collection!

Very nice collection!!!!

I used to have loads of these toys when I was a boy mainly trucks though & spent many a happy hour playing with never occurred to me how much they would be worth I just interested in playing with them happy memories though

Insane collection

Cool!

This video is like mustard on ice cream. The ice cream is the great part with all the incredible Matchbox cars. The mustard is the annoying background noise that spoils it. Volume off - but still a great collection to see!

Matchbox, the dream for me...quand j'avais 10 ans...

How many pieces are there in this collection?

I have the 1967 Catalog complete with most king size. Collection is boxed and I have a matchbox showcase. In your opinion what would this be worth? Thanks Phil

So what do you do with them ?

Nice collection

Brings back a lot of memories. . . hidious music by the way. . .

Mr. Richter had an amazing collection! I would love to get 1-D (Roller) and 65-B (Jaguar) in E boxes but no luck. And then he had what must be one of the very hardest, 34-B with an E box on a blister card...wow!

I've got a 1-D Roller, mint, 1962, green with red wheels, 'Made in England' under canopy hood etc) it's in its original box, which is also very good. If you are interested let me know and I will send you pictures. My name is Jim Davis and my email address is davisjim999@gmail.com.

Et vous n'avez pas la Vauxhall Victor et Cresta , ou bien vous ne les avez pas montrés , merci de me rappeler le bon vieux temps des petites voitures Matchbox , qui en Belgique coûtais à l'époque 11 francs Belge.

I wish they had given some reference as to their size. They are from a different era, so I am not sure of their scale.

So awesome

Very cool. 30000$ worth ?

Perfect condition

I was just reading comments on another vidio and the comment was saying that this person preffers hotwheel to matchbox. Im sorry but not me.Dont get me wrong i collect both but I love matchbox! In fact more so than hotwheels. The older the better! But anyhow you have an awesome/ inspiring collection! Maybe one day mine will look like yours. I doubt it but we'll see ! Wow!
