MG

![]() DB2 - Matchbox |
Aston
Martin DB2 This early Matchbox model shows the origin of classic AM lines. No windows or interior were standard for this era of toy car. |
MGTF The TF was a bit more refined than the TD and Migetoy has done the only small-scale example. This one looks nice in British green. |
![]() MGTF - Migetoy |
![]() DB5 - Johnny Lightning |
Aston
Martin DB5 Where would AM be without James Bond? The DB5 was finally done right by Johnny Lightning, elegant and sophisticated |
MGA Even with silly Coke tampos, this Matchbox MGA is the best yet. Too bad it has not appeared in the regular line. JL did one too. |
![]() MGA - Matchbox |
![]() DBS - Corgi |
Aston
Martin DBS This Corgi favorite even looks good in lime. The body style lasted over 20 years. The dohc six became a V8 later to add more muscle. |
MG
1100 The 1100 was an up-market versin of the Mini. This classic Matchboc comes with 'Old Shep' in the back seat, so very British. |
![]() 1100 - Matchbox |
![]() DB7 - Matchbox |
Aston
Martin DB7 The Jaguar 'F' type became AM's flag-ship for the 1990's as the DB7. Matchbox and Majorette did examples. The DB7 represented a new chapter for AM. |
MGB Hongwell has captured the look of the early MGB, complete with a luggage rack on the boot. Produced for over 15 years, the MGB still looks dashing. |
![]() MGB - Hongwell |
![]() Vanquish - Johnny Lightning |
Aston
Martin Vanquish Bond is back in an AM and this one is equal to the task. V12 power, stunning looks and JL has given us a great model of this car. |
MGF With a mid-engine and considerable Asian help, the MGF marked the return of MG to regular production. Matchbox is the only one to do this car.. |
![]() MGF - Matchbox |
