From one Swede to another, today's feature is the Matchbox Ultra Class Volvo 760.
This one I obtained from a fellow LaLD member as part of a 2-car set with the green Jaguar XJ6. Together with the Saab shown in the previous feature, they make up a great trio of models that you wouldn't expect to see in 1/64. As I always say, collecting "normal" cars is infinitely more fun than collecting sports cars. It's something that Matchbox has always excelled at doing, and this is no different.
The Volvo's got all the frills, including opening doors and working suspension, a la Tomica. While it's nice to have added features, they usually come at a cost, especially when it comes to that suspension. This is a prime example of that.
