MG 1100 BY MATCHBOX

Matchbox have produced MG models in their '1-75 Miniatures' range. On February 1966 , it was the MG version of the MG 1100 saloon (64b), a common sight throughout Britain in the 1960s. MG 1100 was finished in mid green with a very good off-white moulded interior, 4-door sports saloon, painted in a flamboyant maroon, it was in fact released in green with the usual features of windows, �unbreakable towhook�, seats, steering wheel, spring suspension and brightly plated bumpers, grille and headlights. These �usual features� were improved by the addition of a driver and a dog lying on the rear seat with its head through the rear side window.

The mode was revised in 1970 with the substitution of �Superfast� low friction wheels of the original, and the colour was changed to a sort of blue/turquoise metallic. The scale was 1/57th.
