50+ Year-Old Lesney Matchbox Car Haul! (Made in England) 1960s

I bought a collection of vintage Lesney Matchbox cars from 1965 to 1970. Diecast toy cars of the 1960s made in England. Let's open them together and see how I did. I referenced each one online so I can share which version it is, when it was produced/sold, and what I think of it. How did I do? Some models I find include the Ford Galaxie Police car, Trailer Caravan, Girder Truck, Jeep (CJ-5), Field Car, S & S Cadillac Ambulance, Euclid Dump Truck, Horse Box, and more!

Hi Jeremy. Nice buy. About the #29 Fire Pumper, That Is A 29C3. The C1 had Denver decal, The C2 had shield decal, the C3 had no decal. You did well, as I could tell most were in near mint to mint condition. Personnaly I have collected Matchbox Regular Wheels for over 60 years, and have one of every variation, every accesory pack, every collector catalog, and Model of Yesteryear. I'm retired now, and this still keeps me busy, and out of my wife's way. Thanks for sharing....MIKE

These Models are much more beatiful than today's boring hotwheels...

[@Melaniexb1]

Cool I just love these cars …. Since I was a kid in the 60’s :)

[@Melaniexb1]

Wow ! I want a life size trailer caravan!

[@ComAndCollectedFastLane]

Awesome, thanks!

[@chuckclough153]

The smaller horses that came with the Mercedes Trailer are the correct ones for your #17 Horse Box. Nice group, and have fun collecting!

[@charityrochford2175]

That trailer caravan is my favorite! I love how the top comes off to show the interior 😍

[@ComAndCollectedFastLane]

It was pretty cool!

[@Aircraft_collection]

​@@ComAndCollectedFastLanewagon type of vehicle ?

[@sticustom]

The field car was the first Matchbox car I bought with my own money. Wish I still had it. I thought the horses went with the float not the trailer. I’m probably wrong.

[@DizzyDsvids2Please]

Those are in amazing shape thanks for showing

[@ComAndCollectedFastLane]

Thank you!

[@stevemason5173]

I have most of those that survived my "WILD~CHILD" childhood through the 60s, in pretty good shape... Since I rediscovered them packed away very secure and neatly back in 1995, I have still collected diecast of various brands and my collection has grown to approximately 13,000 cars and trucks. A fantastic hobby full of fun and excitement...

[@dahlstardiecast3314]

Thanks for the awesome show. They are all super cool. Have a great day.

[@hideralmosawi1606]

Awesome old vintage diecast collection

[@ToyCarCase]

Congratulations! ! ! GREAT FIND and addition to your collection. Tires are always loose or missing.

[@pioniere1944]

What a great find. They all look like they're in very good shape, and were worth what you paid. Thanks for the history background. Your platform was fun and interesting..

[@RogueIslandDiecast]

I think you got a deal for the amount you paid. Great haul in really nice shape.

[@ComAndCollectedFastLane]

Thank you! I thought so, too!

[@jimsbooksreadingandstuff]

A big nostalgia buzz from that selection especially for me the Field Car, the Mercedes Coach, the Cadillac Ambulance and the 8 Wheeled Crane.

[@tonyhughes1958able]

Those hubs on the field car and other models that Lesney Matchbox made with similar hubs are notorious for the plastic hubs shrinking slightly as the plastic ages so it is common to find that the tyre becomes lose with time.

[@ComAndCollectedFastLane]

Thanks! Glad to hear.

[@bobkurmis5347]

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing

[@TheBadasspony]

Wow ..what an awesome buy!!

[@Muninman]

My brother and I had virtually all of these. I can't explain it, but seeing the Field Car always gives me a warm feeling!

[@bentandre5524]

think i had that superfast fieldcar with the skinnier wheels. it came as a set with the yellow motorcycle trailer and the honda bike. you did some nice purchases. thnx for showing

[@vaamhevalencia4502]

[@ComAndCollectedFastLane]

Thank you!

[@mikegahan9739]

Thanks for saying what you paid. Really helpful to me.

[@ComAndCollectedFastLane]

You're welcome! Thanks for stopping by.

[@MBXKings58]

What a nice group of vintage Matchbox toys. Those were good years for Lesney. Regarding the Girder Truck with the original rubber band, just make sure it is not attached to the model's paint.

[@ripwreckraceway]

amazing 50 year unboxing man shared liked loved

[@JustinTyme33]

Loose tires is normal for cars that old.

[@ComAndCollectedFastLane]

Ah, thank you! That’s nice to hear.

[@Redracer608]

The original tires do become loose...a small amount of Elmer's is what I use to glue them.the Caddilac ambulance came with a guy on a stretcher that went in the back. The horse truck came with two white horses in different poses...the horses were larger for the yellow pull behind horse trailer.

[@SureshKumar-xm6fm]

Nice minty models .If im not mistaken ,the Fire pumper truck had 3 variations to it

[@craigbrown8558]

Marty's Matchbox Makeover on you tube has videos on a lot of old Matchbox vehicles he has re stored. Most I've seen are from a few years ago. He has re stored some of the one you just got and talks about them. Check him out.

[@grimsgarage]

Ohh! Hello! I love your style, presentation, and assortment of coverage!! New sub here!

[@scottworsley3218]

Great video. Very well worth what you paid.

[@ComAndCollectedFastLane]

Thanks!

[@AndrewMcmullen-kx9wy]

Very nice haul

[@joshuatoro8977]

The CJ5 looks so realistic it's incredible the newer look of that vehicle does not look as realistic

[@mariokarthotwheels]

Beautiful opening my friend ! 😁🙏🙏

[@ComAndCollectedFastLane]

Thank you!

[@kenvaughan6694]

I just recently uncovered some age old MATCHBOX cars that i had squirleed away I got 'em at a thrift store

[@dougdombeck3776]

Yeah, loose tire are normal. The hubs shrink over time. The same matchbox with metal hubs keep the tires on. Proof that it’s the plastic hubs that shrink.

[@ComAndCollectedFastLane]

Thanks!

[@andraciorba689]

My favorite ones are the Mercedes coach and the Cadillac ambulance

[@jtab4994]

Nice video, brings back a lot of memories! The rubber band on the girder truck is almost certainly not original. It would have disintegrated by now!

[@stevemason5173]

Age has allot to do with the swelling and shrinking of plastic parts, tires, rims and seats on these older models. I removed all of the loose tires from the rims and added a small drop of super glue to the rims and replaced the tires. Problem solved. As far as loose rims, I would take some "J B Quick and mix the hardener and very carefully squeeze some in between the axel and rim hole with the point of a tooth pick. I rolled the car easily until the J B Quick set up and when it dried completely the rims were more secure on the axel and still rolled freely.

[@BobbyCarburetor]

Every collector should own the Charlie mack book, 4th Edition.

[@BobbyCarburetor]

That is the original rubber band on the girder truck. Some bands were tan.

[@michaeld7409]

I have several Matchbox Cars from this era, tires often come off.

[@DavidPinner-r9w]

The wheels came when new

[@luispinedo8566]

Bonito lote.👍🇪🇦

[@ComAndCollectedFastLane]

Thanks!

[@BobbyCarburetor]

It’s normal for the field cars to have loose wheels over time. they expand for some reason, even on mint unplayed with cars.Those aren’t repros.

[@michaelquinones-lx6ks]

The tires on that field car were plastic not rubber.

[@GeraldWood-ig9rw]

No hubs shrink over time on most all old matchbox 😊

[@marcelocunha4379]

Your voice is very similar to the voice of the owner of the KZbin channel “The Trogly’s Guitar Show”!

[@ComAndCollectedFastLane]

That's cool. I'll have to check it out.

[@lordbeaky3496]

Vintage yellow Ford Bronco Matchbox car

[@billlamont817]

[@stevereali]

8 wheel crane needs to raise its game! Did it come in blue too?

[@stevereali]

Or am I totally wrong ?

[@stevereali]

Oh wow, turns out mine was shabbily re-painted! Turns out I don’t have a crazy variant 🫤

[@ComAndCollectedFastLane]

Not enough wheels! The shame!

[@scottcrum3881]
