In 1987 the Belgian food retailer Delhaize celebrated their 120th anniversary and to mark the event they had Matcbox produce the Renault in their livery.

Because there is more than one national language in Belgium the tampo print on the sides of the van were written in Flemish (Dutch) and Wallon (French).
