It has been quite a while since I posted any news in this chapter. Doesn't mean that I have found every possible version. I just had other commitments meaning that my time passed on looking for new old models was quasi in-existing.
I was recently able to acquire yet another 'Super Value Pack' by Matchbox featuring among others a 3" Volvo 760 scale model. The set features three models:
  • Super GT BR 21 / 22 Alfa Carabo
    • year: 1985
    • made in China
  • Volvo 760 GLEMB
    • year: 1986
    • made in China
  • Ikarus bus 'City Line Tourist'
    • MB67
    • year: 1985
    • scale: 1:140
    • made in China
It's evident from the info's on the blister that this set has been offered in the UK. The Super GT was a proper model collection by Matchbox.
Further info's regarding the GT models by Matchbox - quote from matchbox.wiki.com:
Super GT (or Super G.T.) is a range of miniature models, based on older 1970s castings in which interiors are no longer fitted, the windows are solid in color, opening features are cast shut and the bases are black plastic. Some models have white glow windows, these include the glowing race track "Streak Racing" models. The original name for the line was to be the "Budget Range" and models were designated with "BR". Model names are taken from the original name, but do not appear on the castings. The models were sold single or with launcher, and in gift sets. The line was introduced 1985 and ran trough 1988, between 1985 and 1987 the line was made in England, after in China. For 1988 all were recolored. In 1990 some models were reissued in neon colors and named "Neon Racers". These are denoted with "NR".
