Brand new for 2024 Case L is the Matchbox 1985 Nissan Pathfinder, also known as the Terrano in Japan, and one which represents the very first generation. A popular recreational SUV in the States which probably explains why its proving a hit with many collectors over there.
In typical modern Matchbox fashion its a bit on the small size but looks resolutely stock in appearance with a lovely glossy red colour and front and rear tampo detailing.
Sourced recently from the US though if you're lucky you might find them in both Poundland and The Entertainer.
Mint and boxed.

Good guesses everyone. Nathan was the first to guess a dam and was also the first to comment. Not bad for a man barely past the worst days of the Swine Flu (H1N1 to the P.C. crowd). Thanks to everyone who commented on the previous post! By the way, I added this to the map if you'd like to see the satellite view.
Pathfinder Dam is located on the North Platte River in Wyoming, approximately 47 miles (76 km) southwest of Casper. It was among the first dams contracted to be built by the Reclamation Service and was constructed between 1905 and 1909 as part of the North Platte Project and has been modified several times since then. The original project was bid at $428,000.00 but with cost overruns the total project cost ballooned to $626,523.52, go figure!
It is included on the National Register of Historic Places. Construction of the dam created Pathfinder Reservoir which provides water storage for 226,000 acres of irrigation in Wyoming and Nebraska
The Shuttle Pathfinder has an interesting story behind it. The unit was built of steel and wood in 1977 and was never intended to fly (nor was it even named)--rather, it was built to approximately the same size, shape, and weight that the real orbiters would be so that it could be used to check handling characteristics on cranes and how it fit within structures.
In the early 1980s it was purchased by a Japanese company and refurbished to look more like an actual orbiter. Only then was it given the name Pathfinder. It was on display in Tokyo in 1983-84.
Pathfinder was returned to the US after the exhibition in Japan. In the mid-80s the US Space & Rocket Center has already acquired and mounted a pair of Advanced Solid Rocket Boosters to the MPTA-ET (external tank mock-up), but didn't have an orbiter to complete the exhibit. Finally in 1988 the Pathfinder was lifted into place atop the external tank.

The Mars Pathfinder conducted different investigations on the Martian soil using three scientific instruments. The lander contained a stereoscopic camera with spatial filters on an expandable pole called Imager for Mars Pathfinder (IMP), and the Atmospheric Structure Instrument/Meteorology Package (ASI /MET) which acts as a Mars meteorological station, collecting data about pressure, temperature, and winds. The MET structure included three windsocks mounted at three heights on a pole, the topmost at about one meter (yard) and generally registered winds from the West.
The Sojourner rover had a Alpha Proton X-ray Spectrometer (APXS), which was used to analyze the components of the rocks and soil. The rover also had two black-and-white cameras and a color one. These instruments could investigate the geology of the Martian surface from just a few millimeters to many hundreds of meters, the geochemistry and evolutionary history of the rocks and surface, the magnetic and mechanical properties of the land, as well as the magnetic properties of the dust, atmosphere and the rotational and orbital dynamics of the planet.
The landing site was an ancient flood plain in Mars's northern hemisphere called "Ares Vallis" ("the valley of Ares," the ancient Greek equivalent of the ancient Roman deity Mars) and is among the rockiest parts of Mars. Scientists chose it because they found it to be a relatively safe surface to land on and one that contained a wide variety of rocks deposited during a catastrophic flood. After the landing, at 19°08′N 33°13′W / 19.13°N 33.22°W / 19.13; -33.22Coordinates: 19°08′N 33°13′W / 19.13°N 33.22°W / 19.13; -33.22, succeeded, the landing site received the name The Carl Sagan Memorial Station in honor of the late astronomer and leader in the field of robotic spacecraft missions.
Mars Pathfinder entered the Martian atmosphere and landed using an innovative system involving an entry capsule, a supersonic parachute, followed by solid rockets and large airbags to cushion the impact.
Mars Pathfinder directly entered Mars atmosphere in a retrograde direction from a hyperbolic trajectory at 6.1 km/s using an atmospheric entry aeroshell (capsule) that was derived from the original Viking Mars lander design. The aeroshell consisted of a back shell and a specially designed ablative heatshield to slow to 370 m/s (830 MPH) where a supersonic disk-gap-band parachute was inflated to slow its descent through the thin Martian atmosphere to 68 m/s (about 160 MPH). The lander's on-board computer used redundant on-board accelerometers to determine the timing of the parachute inflation. Twenty seconds later the heatshield was pyrotechnically released. Another twenty seconds later the lander was separated and lowered from the backshell on a 20 m bridle (tether). When the lander reached 1.6 km above the surface, a radar was used by the on-board computer to determine altitude and descent velocity. This information was used by the computer to determine the precise timing of the landing events that followed.
Once the lander was 355 m above the ground, airbags were inflated in less than a second using three catalytically cooled solid rocket motors that served as gas generators. The airbags were made of 4 inter-connected multi-layer vectran bags that surrounded the tetrahedron lander. They were designed and tested to accommodate grazing angle impacts as high as 28 m/s. However, as the airbags were designed for no more than about 15 m/s vertical impacts, three solid retrorockets were mounted above the lander in the backshell. These were fired at 98 m above the ground. The lander's on-board computer estimated the best time to fire the rockets and cut the bridle so that the lander velocity would be reduced to about 0 m/s between 15 and 25 m above the ground. After 2.3 seconds, while the rockets were still firing, the lander cut the bridle loose about 21.5 m above the ground and fell to the ground. The rockets flew up and away with the backshell and parachute (they have since been sighted by orbital images). The lander impacted at 14 m/s and limited the impact to only 18 G of deceleration. The first bounce was 15.7 m high and continued bouncing for at least 15 additional bounces (accelerometer data recording did not continue through all of the bounces).
The entire entry, descent and landing (EDL) process was completed in 4 minutes.
Once the lander stopped rolling, the airbags deflated and retracted toward the lander using four winches mounted on the lander "petals". Designed to right itself from any initial orientation, the lander happened to roll right side up onto its base petal. 74 minutes after landing, the petals were deployed with Sojourner rover and the solar panels attached on the inside.
The lander arrived at night at 2:56:55 Mars local solar time (16:56:55 UTC) on July 4, 1997. The lander had to wait until sunrise to send its first digital signals and images to Earth. The landing site was located at 19.30° north latitude and 33.52° west longitude in Ares Vallis, only 19 kilometres southwest of the center of the 200 km wide landing site ellipse. During Sol 1 –or martian days– the lander took pictures and made some metereologic measurements. Once the data was received, the engineers realized that one of the airbags hadn't fully deflated and could be a problem for the forthcoming traverse of Sojourner's descent ramp. To solve the problem, they sent commands to the lander to raise one of its petals and perform additional retraction to flatten the airbag. The procedure was a success and on Sol 2, Sojourner was released, stood up and backed down one of two ramps.
