The history of this one has become Matchbox lore. - #Repost @davidjtilley (@get_repost) ・・・ A rare & elusive 1965 #austin #minivan from 2009. Dubbed the Chilean Minivan it was going to have been part of a set in 2008, but the set was cancelled. However a small run had been produced. Rather than waste them #matchbox decided to just add the model to a multipack. In this case it was a 3-pack containing a silver Nissan Z & red Audi R8. The first batch was discovered in Chile in South America in early 2009. It was just a small group that was discovered, hence the nickname it received. A second batch was later found in Switzerland too, but the nickname had already stuck. It is not known how many of these were actually made. But estimates are possibly less than a few hundred. Some think less than a hundred but we will never know. What we do know is that they rarely come up for sale. This is one of the rarest models of the #mattel era. #matchboxmodel #matchboxgoldenage #matchboxgoodoldtime #matchboxaddict #matchboxhunter #matchboxdaily #matchboxdiecast #matchboxworld #matchboxcollector #matchboxcollection #toy #toyhunting #toyaddict #toycollector #toycollection #diecast #diecastfan #diecastholic #diecastaddict #diecastcollector #diecastcollection #diecastworld #diecastsyndicate #diecastdaily
