As a boy, living in Europe, I drooled over the Corgi sets, particularly this Ferrari hauler. I guess they must have been pretty expensive, I was never able to get my own.
This James Bond Aston-Martin was also drool worthy. This one is on Ebay, with a BIN of $316. Still out of reach...
It that one is too worn, this one is also available as a BIN.

I had 200 Matchbox cars and played with them much. When Hotwheels were introduced, they looked cheap.
Majorette was a really good brand, plus they had oddball euro models.
Yeah! That's the first thing I thought when seeing that. I thought that was Ray at the wheel.
I thought that Land Rover looked familiar!As a boy, living in Europe, I drooled over the Corgi sets, particularly this Ferrari hauler. I guess they must have been pretty expensive, I was never able to get my own.

I will dig through the box, I might just have that Ferrari and trailer.
@jpberg I had one of those - that engine looks ridiculously large and completely blocks any forward vision. If it was black it would look a lot like Mad Max's Ford Falcon GT or the black hot rod Dodge Charger from the first Fast and Furious film, except they just had the supercharger sticking through the bonnet (hood if you're American!).
Yeh, it is interesting that Matchbox was all about making current models being produced and utilitarian vehicles. They were better quality, especially over HotWheels first few years, but soon the crazy idealized, almost cartoony HotWheels hotrods were of the same quality. Both were the same sizes and proportions, and both were interchangeable with those stupid racetracks and such.
Those HotWheels racetracks just sucked at keeping one's attention. They were about as much "FUN" as Slinkies and the box train sets that just went around in a circle. Whoopie!!
I had way more fun just using my imagination with my cars.

Al, these were from my wife's uncle. They were hidden away in my wife's grandmothers house for years. When she passed the box was discovered and were sent to us for our kids.
I'm happy to take requests Scott, I will post up some buses tomorrow.
