I posted one of these before but now I have the box and the mintiest of mint models. And it is the less common D Box which I highly desire. This style box is the first to have a realistic color illustration of the model on the box. The difference between this and the next style, the E box is that "Series" is next to MATCHBOX as opposed to underneath it like it is on the E Style box.
The real version had an inline 6 cylinder engine which is revealed by opening the hood. Let's not criticize a different 1950s sportscar for the Blue Flame engine then.
More info can be found on my original post.

Thank you very much Dave. Those prices are insane. Even more common redlines go for $100. Good reason to collect Matchbox and those aren't free.
