I have two. The first is all white, with Quasar graphics and normal matchbox wheels. The second is this one with a weird colourway, that somehow it still pulls off.

Yes, absolutely. I’ve loved it since I got my first Matchbox one.

It’s at Musée de L’Aventure Peugeot, which I totally recommend visiting.

Damn, I forgot AX 201 “The Silver Ghost”!

I always feel “shows and museums” don’t really count as “proper spots” so here are 5 I’ve seen on the road or in car parks:

Ferrari F40 (Northampton)
Bugatti Veyron (Geneva 🙄)
Aston Vantage Shooting Brake (London)
Aston Taraf (London)
Porsche Carrera GT (Nürburg)

Oh right. I mean, that’s believable.

At first I mis-recognised the badge and thought it was “just” a BMW flat-twin conversion with a dodgy body kit then realised stuff like the full rear hatch, etc.

Second guess, as I realised the first guess was rubbish, is that it’s a “made under licence” South American model.

Heck yes!

I think that’s a bit harsh on Nicole!

Yep, a blooming “forever car”.

I really enjoyed it the first time I read it buty the time it had been picked apart, sentence by sentence, for GCSE English, I was heartily sick of it.

Yep!

I seem to remember from road tests that the “Van” part was particularly obvious.
Was it sold as a commercial vehicle? I guess the Citan (Kangoo-based) was its eventual successor.

Yeah, I’ve had that before!
“Okay, those aren’t in the list so it must be that…”

Me too. I can never remember if the square headlines were before the round headlights or vice versa.
