Scale : 1/42

In 1976 Lesney released a small batch of Y1 models to members of an American Matchbox Club, These Code 2 models are very rare and should not be confused with the all black version released in 1984 as part of the connoisseurs set.

Collectors Warning: The seats, hoods & grille on this model are very easy to swap so beware !!!
