Make

Range/Operator

Matchbox Superfast

Fork Lift

Model Number

No 15

Condition

Good - Finish like new. Slight age related corrosion on lift arm. Lift slides very freely. i.e. is slides down by itself when lifted. Wheels great, front axle is only slightly bent - anyone who knows this model knows this is its Achilles heel, the front axle is "always" bent. Almost like it came out the box like that.

As pictured.  Made in England. Scale is technically 1/62. This is the 1979-1981 edition, with unpainted lift arm and red forks (Earlier editions had yellow painted lift arm and grey or yellow forks)

Regarding price

Long time buyers may have noticed a sharp increase in item prices. For the sakes of transparency, let me explain:

I obtain most of my goods from overseas, Europe mostly. Due to the inexorable devaluation of the rand, goods whose price has remained relatively static overseas have near doubled in terms of cost to land here. This is not just a direct per item cost, but includes postage (which has greatly increased in cost), customs and even bank charges. All are affected as they get charge on a rand value. i.e. Because the model cost me more in rand terms, I get charged more in terms of customs.

My request is that people please refrain from trying to contact me to arrange private or bulk deals and so forth. This is contra the platforms rules and also not economically viable for me.
