1 st vitrine - Matchbox models
| The
4th and 5th shelves
are reserved for the
1991 Frontera , 1989 Rodeo and Amigo
models . There are lots of different liveries so I have
only Fronteras in the 4th shelf and the Isuzu models are all in
the 5th shelf . This is a very good model with a lugage rack ,
front bar and spare tire in the back . These models were sold
with various references , MB52 , 55 , 56 , 59 , 65 , etc . My
favorites are my 3 Frontera / Rodeo prototypes , one unpainted
and the 2 others in a color never released . In pic 1 , one prototype and 2 pre-production models . The 2 metallic dark yellow models are pre-production models , base engraved but no brand , Opel , Vauxhall or Isuzu and color never released , at least I don't know . The unpainted model is a real prototype , no grille , no paint , plain black base , nothing engraved , and no spare wheel only the hole in the back . All Fronteras have an engraved front grille behind the front bar but this model hasn't it . This is one of favorite and maybe the rarest Matchbox I have . |
