Neil et al,
As I type (slowly, with my right hand) I hold a Matchbox "Dinky" model of a
Mineral Blue `65 BGT with a sunroof. It's almost exactly the same as the GT
I have scattered about the yard, house, shop and garage. Model info is as
follows:
Matchbox Int'l Ltd. 1988
"Dinky" DY 3
I personally think it's an excellent replica. Sits in front of me while at
the keyboard, sort of inspirational....
Cheers, eh!
