GLT676 Austin K2, NFS, Newcastle upon Tyne, 23/4/1988 (Photo taken by my late father, William Allan)
A blatant copy of the Matchbox generic Airport Fire Engine. I've seen this casting over the years being sold under various different brands. This particular one has City Vehicles packaging which appears to be exclusive to B&M Stores which is where it was purchased. Not too badly cast though is obviously a cheaper copy of the original Matchbox version. Mint and boxed.

Two fire engines, struggling to get up Oxford Street.. each heading in the direction the other has just come from. Surely something, somewhere, has gone retarded?!
We met with some friends West Sussex and also from Ntthinham in a central location and went hunting/. Always pays to hunt . There is a Fire Engine in there. Whoop Whoop

Still plying its wares on a frequent basis and now the unexpected face of a thousand Chinese copies is the Matchbox 2006 generic Fire Engine seen here in its "new" 2017 recolour. Its boxy well cast styling hardly screams generic which probably explains its continued popularity and why a few came home with me from ASDA back in November 2017. Mint and boxed.
