www.matchbox1-75.com
www.matchbox1-75.com has been up and running since late
March 2003. The aim of the site is to provide a point of resource and
information for the range of 1-75/miniatures from 1969 to date that have
been released in the UK.
As a kid of the seventies, these are the type of models
that I happily threw off the stairs, caused and created multiple pile-ups,
submerged in water, re-painted a thousand times, and re-enacted ‘The
Dukes of Hazzard’/’CHiPs’/’The Professionals’.
In the light of this, I have more a passion for models for this range,
and although some may call me a heathen, the site will not cover the Regular
Wheels series from 1953 to 1969.
This site does not seek or boast to be the best or No. 1
Matchbox site on the web – far from it. It was created out of frustration
at the lack of information available on this subject. Whilst there are
some excellent sites around, the focus of information is derived and concentrated
on the USA market and Europe rather than the UK. Hence the focus on the
UK listings. However, if I have far too much time on my hands, this would
very much change………
If you have any suggestions or contributions that can improve
and/or complement the current quality of data gathered, then please contact
the webmaster.

Keef,
I must say I`m impressed,you have done a fantastic job and research...I
will use your site when I need it,I believe the UK 1-75 line is equal
to the norwegian line.

Keef, your site is exactly whatI was looking
for! I needed badly lineups for the MBs beyond 1982!
It goes right to my "favorites" folder.

| Great site Keefyd. The thing I don't like
about the catalogues was the things never showed all the recolours.
Just look at the 1975 Catalogue, it shows some of the new models
but the new colours of #2 Jeep Hot Rod, 4 Gruesome Twosome etc were
missed out.
This makes catalogue the collection impossible but your site is
a great help. Thanks

Hi Keef
This is great. The look and feel is very professional and serious
and well organised and well laid out. Content is well researched
and presented. Thanks for making our life easier by attempting to
give a single reference point.
I have been here many times now. Well done and congratulations.
Kind regards
Hirantha

I have just stumbled across your website by pure chance, and may
I say what a fantastic site you have compiled. There is so much
detail included, it's incredible, brings back lots of fond memories
from my era of the '80's and early 90's. Paul.
