Well the model numbers were different from countries. I owned a 1971 300 SE 2 door and many claimed the model was wrong! but it wasn't! The 69's looked much different! What a awesome restoration of something I had in the real thing!

Nothing dry and boring about his presentations. Plus I now see we are getting camera tricks - all great stuff! So it's little surprise that Marty is by far the most popular 'Matchbox Man' on KZfaq.
