DESCRIPTION Every collector has favorite pieces or themes. One of mine is sport/GT cars in their country's racing colors. British racing green, Italian racing red, French racing blue, U.S. racing white with blue stripes and German racing silver. Courtesy of another collecter in Finland, I received a Hungarian-made Matchbox BMW 3.0 CSL, in silver (card view). Combined with the silver M1 and 850i, these three cars provide three decades of BMW style for the '70's, '80's and '90's. The fact that they are all Matchbox and all in German silver makes this a perfect 3-of-a-kind. Thank you Matchbox for this collector's delight.
