Last week, I visited the MBX Museum again, and as always, Jang had some superb new additions to his collection. The museum is growing by leaps and bounds, and soon there won’t be any more room. Walking through the different floors of the museum with Jang is a real pleasure because he has so many anecdotes to tell and has answers to all my questions. Every time, I discover models I didn’t even know they existed, and that’s what makes it so exciting. Once again, a big thank you to the Birsens family, who make me feel right at home, and I can’t wait to go back.
Here are some of the new additions:
Rolls Royce Silver Shadow pre-series | color not otherwise made in Regular Wheels, base in metal color / below the standard Regular Wheels with its base in black
London Bus AEC Routemaster No.5 | Pre-Series in 2 colors
London Bus AEC Routemaster as ashtray in chrome
Lancia Rally 037 | in front the original model and behind the pre-series in resin
Hatra Tractor Shovel King-Size No. 3 | not yet riveted
Taylor Jumbo Crane No. K14 | not yet riveted
Dealer Pack with 4 cars from Models of Yesteryear incl. Y6 – Cadillac Roadster 1913 and Y10 – Mercedes 36/220 1928
Ford Model A Coupe Superfast | Italian Box
Error Model Land-Rover Safari No.12 Regular Wheels On top with excess metal in rear side window and below with the base riveted incorrectly
Taxi Cab No.20 Regular Wheels | Decal misplaced
Ford Cortina MKII Regular Wheels | window panes installed incorrectly
Hi-Tailer Superfast | 2 types of wheels
Pontiac Grand-Prix No.22C Regular Wheels | door with wrong color
Merryweather Marquis Fire Engine No.9C Regular Wheels | base incorrectly assembled
I hope you enjoy these new additions to the museum as much as I do, and I can’t wait to return to the Matchbox Museum in Hinkel.
Man, what a great museum and collection!
