I found this little Matchbox coach in a drawer yesterday. It has Speedwheels so I don't include it with the early Lesney/Matchbox vehicles that I post elsewhere.
This one is the third version of the Sentra S80 Coach that Matchbox first issued in 1971. It was deleted in 1974 which is the likely purchase date of my model.
It is 1/100 scale. First version was white and gold followed by a yellow and gold version.
Mine is Burgundy purple and white. I travelled on Europe a few times on a bus like this in the 1980s.
