Moving under its own power for the first time in 20 years gives the opportunity to turn the car around and see a different scene. Tonneau cover sits loose at the moment as the fixing studs have all been removed. The tonneau itself is very likely to be the original
Im getting so used to seeing very stock looking U.S. Muscle Cars in the Hot Wheels line up that its easy to forget that role should technically be given to Matchbox. That balance is being addressed a bit more for 2019 with the introduction of the 2018 Dodge Charger and this very neat 2018 Ford Mustang Convertible.
Going back to what Matchbox does best, this is a perfectly ordinary and factory accurate casting with no add ons or wild colour combinations. Well proportioned and nicely detailed at both ends this is exactly the kind of product I like to collect :-)
Part of the latest Case E/M sourced recently from the U.S. as the only way to keep abreast of 2019 releases due to no retailers now selling Matchbox here in the UK! Mint and boxed.

"New" release of the decades old Maisto VW New Beetle Convertible which to my eyes looks the same as it ever has though the baseplate now has a 2021 license date.
A car which has dated rather badly and which reflects in the masses of 1/64 diecast versions still being produced. Perhaps this Maisto Fresh Metal wouldn't look quite so bad if it had more sympathetic looking wheels!
Part of a five vehicle set found recently at TK Maxx.

The well detailed interior of this VW New Beetle convertible shows the effort Realtoy go to to make their inexpensive diecasts some of the best on the market. This one originally came from ASDA. Mint and boxed.

Basically a direct Bentley translation of Rolls Royce's Silver Shadow, the Bentley T-Series differs in that it sports a differing badge and grille, but for all other intents and purposes they are identical.
Much like the Silver Shadow, the car also spawned a variety of other cars, including the early Bentley T1 Two-Door Saloon, the Bentley T1 Convertible, and a unique Bentley T1 Pininfarina Coupe. Following the bankruptcy of parent Rolls Royce in 1971 and division of the company between the motoring side and engineering side, the line was reorganised. The T1 remained in production, but the earlier Two-Door Saloon became the Bentley Corniche and later Continental. A later derivative of the Bentley T1/Rolls Royce Silver Shadow was the Camargue, but only 1 official Bentley Camargue was ever built in 1985.
In 1977, to comply with new US safety legislations, the Bentley T1 became the T2, at the same time the Silver Shadow I became the Silver Shadow II. All changes were very much the same, with chrome bumpers being replaced by rubber or composite, and various other subtle changes to comply with legislation.
The Bentley T-Series ended production in 1980 at the same time as the Silver Shadow, being replaced by the Mulsanne, a Bentley version of the Rolls Royce Silver Spirit. Bentley Continental's however kept the design alive until their production ended in 1995.
