MATCHBOX 2004 MAZDA RX-8 NO7 1/64

Featuring this brand new colour for 2024 Case E is the Matchbox 2004 Mazda RX-8. As we all remember it debuted last year in black which I really liked but a deep glossy red takes things up a few notches and gives it less of budget feeling.
A well rounded replica of this once unusually styled car and one which is disappearing from UK roads at an alarming rate, I can't recall the last time I saw one!
Sourced directly from the US where Matchbox still costs HALF the price of the UK!
Mint and boxed.
