Yesteryear Collection



A limited issue presentation set released in 1984, comprising six re-issued models which had been in the range during the 1960s and the early 1970s. The initial price was just under 70 pounds. Because this was a high price in 1984, sales were poor, despite Matchbox Toys offering a free Y25 Renault 'James Neale' for every set sold. Each set was presented in a polished mahogany box and came with a numbered certificate. Matchbox Toys even offered to refund the full purchase price after five years to customers who had bought directly from them. Only 34000 sets were produced.

The set consists of:
1911 Ford Model T Tourer (Y1-2)
1909 Opel Coupe (Y4-3)
1910 Benz Limousine (Y3-2)
1912 Packard Landaulet (Y11-2)
1911 Daimler Type A12 (Y13-2)
1911 Maxwell Roadster (Y14-2)

(1984)

This is a boxed set of six super-detailed cars presented in a nice wooden case and individually numbered. The set was marketed in 1984 with the promise that if the buyer wanted they could have a full refund of the purchase price after five years.
