#4254 - Matchbox by Lesney - Peterbilt - Tow Truck Wreck Truck

Reference Matchbox by Lesney ( Great Britain ) : K-20

Super Kings - Matchbox

Item with its box - vitrine-type (cardboard box with two tabs and four flaps including a transparent plastic film)

Model status: 4.5

Description: On the endless ribbons of North American asphalt, the growl of a Peterbilt is a signature sound. When it's a heavy-duty tow truck, it's the cavalry arriving for a trucker in distress. This powerful image is what Matchbox captured in 1980 by integrating this Wreck Truck into its Super Kings range under the reference K-20. Designed to appeal with its size and playability, it faithfully reproduces the spirit of a Peterbilt 359, a road monster renowned for its reliability. This toy would have a career under two references: the K-20 from the Lesney era, then the K-121 after the brand was acquired by Universal Toys in 1982. The offered example is a witness from the early days: an English-made K-20, with its green cab, white superstructure, and "Heavy Duty Recovery" decals. It is in remarkable condition, rated 4.5/5, with its double crane mechanism, hooks, and cords perfectly preserved. It is housed in its original blue K-20/K-95 display box, which is also in very good condition. Thirty-eight francs for such a machine was clearly the price at Joudis on April 12, 1986.
