New Small Matchbox Euro Van

Haven't reviwed any Matchbox cars in a while.  Here's one that was just released.

It's a Renaut Kangoo,  Matchbox number MB1216.   Why am I interested in a euro minivan that has never been sold in the USA?

Well, when put next to HO items it looks an awful lot like the full-size Ford Transit Vans that are everywhere right now.

Not perfect of course, but for a buck each, you could fill a background truck lot with these.

At some point I will try painting one of these plain white.  As I do with almost all Matchbox trucks with these style wheels I will black out the outer ring of silver which really helps to disguise the oversized wheels.

Be well,

Karl
