Hello! Welcome to the home of 4-Fender Friends.
I'm Anthony and I'm obsessed with little toy cars.....Ah, but not any little cars. The 'little cars' that interest me so much are the familiar "Models of Yesteryear".
I have been collecting Matchbox Models of Yesteryear for several years but only since 2018 has my hobby become a passion! It was back then when I retired that my collection really started and I hoped to have more time to spend on my hobby.
I have almost completed the standard range for "Models of Yesteryear" with most variations (not all issues) and although I also have a reasonable collection of the later "Matchbox Collectibles" models, I do not actively hunt these down.
My main interest now, however, is in the models produced by "Creaks of Camberley". I am trying to build up the complete set of their "Alternative Collection" and any special promotional models produced by them.
I hope you find these pages interesting. They have absolutely no official connection with Matchbox, Matchbox Collectibles, Mattel, Tyco or any other owner of the Matchbox name! They are my personal pages and any opinion expressed is solely my own. They aim to guide you around my collection of these early models and give you some idea to the variants available.
This website has been made as a personal project and the information found in the pages of this site come from different sources including books, catalogues, magazines and information gathered in person or on discussion boards and other websites. Acknowlegements to all those who (directly or indirectly) provided information or pictures.
No collection is ever complete and mine is being added to all the time. I hope to update this site accordingly so please revisit occasionally.
