Inspired by a Citroën? Matchbox Superfast 46E Stretcha Fetcha Diecast Restoration

[@PaulFellows3430]

I had hours and hours of fun as a kid with my collection of Matchbox cars, including a Stretcha-Fetcha. Mine was a metallic shade of mid green with orange-tinted glazing.

That's the American release from 1980, called the 'Viper Van'. 🙂

[@PaulFellows3430]

@@BelgianDiecastRestorations yes, although mine didn't have 'Viper Van' markings but did have 'Stretcha-Fetcha' on the box and under the chassis. Being a Brit, mine would have been the British market version.

Thanks, Terry! I think a lot of 70's kids had this one on their toy box.

Lovely restoration buddy! Those types of Matchbox were not my taste but you've done a cracking job. Nice one.

[@BelgianDiecastRestorations]

Thanks! 🙂

[@wilburross9709]

Looks great! As far as what it was based on, my vote would go to George Barris' Supervan

[@BelgianDiecastRestorations]

Thanks! That's also a possibility. It might even be a combination of both designs.

What a transformation! Ambulance treatment. I look forward to refurbishing my own one now! Thank you Johan!

[@BelgianDiecastRestorations]
