And here I thought that I was the only collector on this Forum that had one of these. I had the black one.

- Sold almost every 1/18 model I had. I was wasting $ by storing them. I got 'lucky' and one buyer took 'em all. I've only kept a few, especially the ones I'm still customizing.
- Do you have that 1/18 Matchbox 2 seater 'dune buggy' type model ? It's red. I don't remember if it has a top or if it's an open model.

Found it on da bay. It's marketed as a Jeepster.
It's red with a silver 'top'. Quite a handsome little devil. Not sure if there is a 1:1 or just a concept model. They're only asking 22$
I thought it might be rare. The Liberty's are asking over 100$.

Very nice ! These two look great together. Matchbox did some terrific 1/18ths.
Yep, that's the one. It's a really good-looking model IMO.
Steve, I used to have that Matchbox Jeepster. It was a very cool concept model but I had to downsize during a move. I wish I could have kept all the models I ever had, but it's not really possible given space limitations and packing/moving hassles.

....I always dismissed these 1/18 Matchbox models because they're under-scaled. In fact, I could rarely find what scale they were, but your Jeep Liberty looks about right John. 🤔 🤔 🤔

Scale ????? "We don` nee` no stinkin` SCALE!" 
....
.......the mystery of the Matchbox scaling system is a closely guarded company secret....I used to compare lengths of the "bigger than a matchbox cars" to the published data for the one-to-ones.....and now,for the most part,I just try to find people who seem like reasonably sized passengers,and go from there for photo-shoots
