MATCHBOX 1970 FORD CAPRI NO29 RS2600 RESCUE EMT CAR 1/64
Predictably one of my favourite models from the brand new Rescue EMT themed five vehicle set despite many collectors judging it to be an entirely inappropriate choice. Although I agree with that sentiment its also wise to remind people that these are sold as childrens toys first where such authenticities aren't so important!
According to the packaging this is the sporty RS2600 variant though of course no such badging adorns the casting anywhere, its merely a "1970 Ford Capri". A lack of any front and rear tampo detailing is usually a source of annoyance for me but strangely on this occasion it actually keeps the casting looking extremely clean and crisp.
Found recently at Morrisons.
Mint and boxed.
