Matchbox/Lesney 63e; 4x4 Open Back Pick-Up

The base for this MBX is the Chevrolet LUV or Light Utility Vehicle. First sold in North America from 1972 as a badge engineered variant of the Japanese market Isuzu Faster, production of the first generation ended in 1980. The second generation, launched in 1980 as a 1981 model, was produced in Japan for North America and in Chile for the South American market. North American sales ended with the release of the 1982 model year Chevrolet S-10 in 1981. Production of the second generation LUV for South America continued until 1988 when the third iteration was released, once more based on the Japanese market Faster/Rodeo pickups. This arrangement lasted until 2005 when the fourth series was introduced, now a rebadged version of the Isuzu D-Max.

The Lesney version was made from 1982 to 1983 and has been produced in a number of post-Lesney versions. All the Lesney ones are shades of orange with RN24.
