I wanted to pick something a little less known, and a model that never seemed to generate a ton of excitement, despite its good looks.
I should get a bit more specific. It didn't generate a lot of excitement in the US. This is a much more Euro-centric car, and therefore many collectors and consumers passed it by here in the States. I still occasionally find the first edition C30 on the pegs. And remember this model was released 5 years ago...
But I like the real car a lot (especially since its facelift), and I love this particular version done by Matchbox. It was exclusive to the 2007 First Edition 10-pack, and this version blew away its two basic range counterparts. If this model in white and gold were in the basic range, it would sold a lot more quickly.
But slow sales has relegated this model to the past, even though it is relatively young. I hope we see it again sporting some more cool colors.
