Matchbox 19d; Lotus 33 Racing Car

The Lotus Racing Car is a model of the Lotus 33 and according to Wikipedia: "The Lotus 33 designed by Colin Chapman, was a Formula One car built by Team Lotus. Introduced for the 1965 season, Jim Clark took the 33 to victory in its first appearance at the South African Grand Prix before taking the car to four more wins to gain his second world championship. Clark missed the Monaco Grand Prix (a race which he would never win) to race the Lotus in the Indy 500, which he won."

It is a better model than its stable-mate the Ferrari 156 even though the wheels are not so nice. By the way the pictures of the real car on Wikipedia , taken recently, show yellow wheels and a green body. Who copied whom?

Matchbox model 19d, Lotus Racing Car was introduced in 1965 and spanned the Superfast Wheels introduction. It was deleted in 1970. Superfast versions, which are purple, are generally more desirable than regular wheels although if you can find a regular wheels one in orange it is worth a bit more than a green one. The other one to look for is green with racing number 19, actually that would be worth quite a lot.
