Matchbox Superfast 1-75 No 56 BMC Pininfarina from the G3 Racing Specials Gift Set is a classic die-cast model from the Matchbox Superfast era of the early 1970s. The specific version from this set is notable for its unique decals and paint color.
Vehicle details
According to the Matchbox Cars Wiki and various collector forums, the BMC Pininfarina had several variants during its production run from 1969 to 1973. The G3 Racing Specials Gift Set version stands out due to its specific decorations.
* Color: The version included in the G3 set is orange, differentiating it from the gold and peach versions released in the regular 1-75 series.
* Wheels: It features small, thin, 5-spoke wheels, which were common on early Superfast models.
* Decals: This model has unique racing-style decals that were only available in the G3 set. These include ”Gulf” sponsorship logos and the number ”17”.
G3 Racing Specials Gift Set contents
The G3 Racing Specials Gift Set was released around 1970 and contained six different racing models, all with exclusive labels. In addition to the BMC Pininfarina, the full set included:
* 5A Lotus Europa (lilac-metallic) with ”20” labels.
* 20A Lamborghini Marzal (pink) with ”2 & Avon” labels.
* 45A Ford Group 6 (dark metallic green) with ”Burmah” labels and a yellow base.
* 52A Dodge Charger (purple-metallic) with ”5” labels.
* 68A Porsche 910 (metallic red) with ”68” labels.
Collector’s value
The value of a vintage Matchbox model, particularly one from a specific gift set, depends heavily on its condition and whether it is sold as part of the complete set.
* Condition: The highest value is placed on models in mint or near-mint condition, especially if they are still sealed in their original box or have never been removed.
* Set vs. individual: An orange BMC Pininfarina with the ”Gulf” and ”17” decals will typically be more valuable than the regular release orange model, due to its specific origin from the G3 set.
* Rarity: Sealed, complete G3 Racing Specials Gift Sets are considered hard to find and can be very valuable to collectors. An auction from 2021 for a G3 set had an estimate of over £200, according to Vectis Auctions.
