Matchbox 32d; Maserati Bora

Check the colour scheme. It is so noticeable when I open one of my drawers of die cast cars from the early Seventies just how violent the colours are. Who would have thought a conservative business like Maserati would produce a car with a bright green chassis, lipstick pink bodywork and a custard yellow interior, well according to Lesney they did. I wonder what the guys at Matchbox were smoking?

The Matchbox Maserati Bora (32d) was made from 1973 to 1979, in all but its last year of production it was bright metallic pink, the last ones were metallic gold with a silver base. The gold one is the one to go for as it is hardest to find. Of the pink ones darker green or unpainted bases are the ones to look for. The number 8 label tends to be commoner than the number 3.
