Issue 01: Special packaging for the 2008 London Motor Show (16th July 2008)


This release is only made special due to the packaging, it is exactly the same as the basic range release. Matchbox worked in conjunction with Lotus to produce a small scale replica of their new (at the time) Evora. The Matchbox miniature was given out at a special Lotus dealer event as part of the 2008 London Motor Show which is where the company announced and showed off their new car. The model itself is nothing special as it would soon be released as part of the basic range but its appearance in the clear plastic case was limited to a maximum of 550 models as stated on the packaging but it is suspected that this figure may be lower but that cannot be confirmed.
