On the bench today is a 1:66 scale Matchbox Super Kings K-10 Car Transporter. I’m putting it together with a Scammell Tractor. These are very well worn - just about worn out, so I’ll breath some life back into them and customize them to be a brand new looking Maple Leaf Matchbox Makeover transporter.

The Car Transporter (K-10) was released in two versions with two different colours and two different tractors between 1976-1986. The Car Transporter sold as an empty trailer or with various 1-75 cars. From 1986 onwards, the same trailer came with a third tractor, but a new number, this was Car Transporter Leyland (K-120). Mine is not a matching set of any of those variations, but it’s just going to sit on my hobby desk, and I like this combo. Considering that I got it for the low, low price of 1 euro, I’m happy. This will be my attempt to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear!

FYI: I don't collect, display or sell the cars, and they’re certainly not competition entries. All Maple Leaf Matchbox Makeovers finished projects are put in custom blister packs and go to my local Goodwill store where they are given to children for free.
