1909 Opel Coupe Y-4

1909 Opel Coupe Y-4

A classic subject from the Matchbox Models of Yesteryear range, this model recreates the 1909 Opel Coupe with the period proportions and decorative detailing for which the Lesney collector series became known.

Matchbox Models of Yesteryear Y-4

Models of Yesteryear was introduced by Lesney in 1956 as a range devoted to historic vehicles. Over the following decades the series developed a wide selection of veteran, vintage, luxury and commercial subjects, often with multiple colour and trim variations.

Period Diecast Detailing

The casting combines a diecast body and chassis with separate trim components and period-style wheels, producing a display model with the distinctive character of classic Models of Yesteryear production.

Collector Interest

Colour, wheel, baseplate and trim variations are an important part of collecting vintage Yesteryear models, and surviving examples can differ according to production period.

A Classic Collectible

A worthwhile addition to a Matchbox, Lesney or vintage diecast collection, this model represents the broad historical scope that made Models of Yesteryear a long-running collector favourite.
