Welcome to Pat's LESNEY ONLINE The ultimate Lesney box site has now joined us, Welcome to our world of Moko Lesney's Matchbox toys which is dedicated to British made small scale diecast toy vehicles made before 1970, With our Models of Yesteryear section now completed we are pleased to announce the start of our new Superfast pages which can be found under the 1-75 index, This new Superfast section is being written with the kind assistance of Mick Bruce and hopefully it should be completed fairly soon. Our main interests are the pre Superfast era 1-75 series miniatures or 'regular wheels' models for which we have an updated Stannard guide listing and a 1-75 model and gift set price guide. We also have sections on other ranges by Matchbox including the early Lesney toys, the Accessory and Major pack series, the MG1 Service Stations and the King-Size section (regular wheeled models). There is also a little bit of Lesney history on our Lesney factories page and our Matchbox advertising pages. If you have any unusual 1-75's or interesting 'error' pieces that you think should be listed here please contact us |
