I think someone at Matchbox hangs out here on the site! I just picked up a 5 pack of Matchbox cars and in it is a Classic Mini Panel wagon, a Jag E-type, and a Citroen DS. I also picked up an extra Mini panel packaged individually because I liked the different paint Scheme.
Also in this years lineup a Jag XK120 SE and the new XK,A TVR Tuscan S, Lotus Europa ,Evora and an Exige, 69 Mini Cooper S , Bentley Continental GT, Range Rover Sport, Morgan Aeromax, Karman Gia Convertable, mixed in with some really neat old iron of other sorts. and, Matchbox had revamped thier wheels. I think they offer some really good looking stuff now. I've been more of a follower of Hot Wheels for a long time cause matchbox was kind spotty with what they had, but this is a really good lineup! I'm on the hunt now! Thought I'd pass it on.
 
I saw some the other day while hanging out with the grandkids at walmart. They are getting better than they have been for years. I'm waiting for a Midget.
 
I believe there is also a TR6 in race-dress out there.

There are two TR6s. One silver and one green. I have both.

There is/was also a Newcastle TR6 that a guy was selling on ebay, he was custom painting the Hot Wheels cars.

I'll have to look for the silver one....Ihave the green one.
 
Yup, got both green and silver of the TR6s. Those are Hot Wheels. Like I said, I've followed Hot Wheels a little closer than Matchbox for several years because they generally had better choices in the "actual classics" category, whereas Matchbox seemed to have gone fantasy/ futuristic for a lot of years. But now it seems they have a growing selection of "real" cars, and some good ones at that. I don't really collect either, but I always take a look for any British, or vintage race cars. I've found some pretty neat stuff over the years. Several Minis, Citroen 2CV,Cunningham, Chapperal, Cheetah, Delorean, Austin Healey 100 (Unfortunately with a big Hot-rod motor sticking out of the bonnet) MG 1100,
johnny Lightning did a British invasion series once. All kinds of neat stuff. Bugeye sprite, Jag e-type roadster, Triumph TR3, Sunbeam Alpine, MGB
