UPDATE: After pondering it a while, I decided to get this set for Christmas … better late than never??
I would have been 11 when this jeep and glider set was released by Matchbox. I don’t remember seeing this combo in my 1976 Christmas Sears Wish Book. I’m feeling a bit cheated!
“Original 1976 Lesney England Matchbox Jeep and Glider
Transporter / Gliding Club.
This is a complete set; Condition C-6 due to numerous light marks
mostly on jeep. Not readily noticeable due to color, but can be easily seen under
magnification”
Here a set that’s in the original package (for $69) on eBay:
Right hand drive, interesting thing about Matchbox series toys, the ones sold here in the states were a mix of right, left hand drive based on the country of origin. This being a Jeep model, (USA) but a right hand drive. So does this mean the Jeep model Matchbox toy was manufactured for the United Kingdom Market?
