This strange little vehicle was brought into the Matchbox range in 1975. Up to 1977 the colour was always metallic green over lime. From 1978 to 1980 it was metallic red over cream. There are also two versions from gift sets, in 1977 it was part of Adventure 2000 Command Force Set and this one is avocado green over black. In 1980 it was in another Adventure 2000 set, this time in metallic blue over black. The model was deleted in 1980.

The two versions from the 1-75 range, two tone green and red over cream, are very easy to find and do not attract any premium, the Adventure 2000 versions though are worth a little more, the blue over black one being the more desirable.
