Platinum Jubilee!

8 horsepower, but what a luxurious ride !

Very interesting. Who made this model and is it made of plastic, resin, metal, etc.?

@ed-davis It's considered the first Matchbox model. Moko was the distributor and sold about a million of them in 1953.

@paul-rouffa 

Made in 1953 - is this a model of coach Elizabeth rode in to or from her coronation?

@ed-davis Absolutely right.

@paul-rouffa 

What is the total length? That is not only a nice model, but a historically significant model. Thanks for photos.

Love it all!  .... subject matter, historical significance, the back-stories, the pics, all of it! 😀 😎 

@ed-davis I’m at work right now so I can’t measure it, but it’s about 5 inches. They also made a much larger version.

love all

Well done, Paul.  It's a fine replica of a glorious time.  Good Matchbox history, too!
