Matchbox Model A Ford Hot Rod - US Market Edition

Make

Range/Operator

Superfast

Model Number

No 73

Condition

Fair. Structurally sound, but missing RHS headlight. Front axle a bit wobbly, paint scratches mostly on roof.

As pictured.   Made in Macau 1986/1989. Scale listed as 1/52. Matchbox fandom wiki says this one was US market only but I could also have misread.

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.
