To celebrate the 2000 Olympic Games held in Sydney Australia, Matchbox Collectibles released a set of 13 vehicles to celebrate the various countries that had hosted the Olympics.

These die-cast vintage models have been made with care and attention to fine detail by skilled craftsmen, accurately reflecting the charm of the past.
They are researched from original photographs, or from books of the period. Authenticity therefore, is the key to the charm and collectability of the series.
