2 MINUTES OF MATCHBOX HEAVEN

Check out British Pathe's 1965 clip of Matchbox cars being made and designed! Talk about brilliant! What do you think?

    Very nice, especially the shot of the cars being spun around as they were spray painted. It is great to see inside the factory, and look behind the scenes at how our models were produced.

  2. That takes me right back to the days before Superfast wheels, when my dad would bring me in two of the latest models every month. Lovely

  3. I had a friend whose mother worked assembling at Matchbox- he apparently had a large collection she "acquired", but all were missing at least one piece...
