Lesney Matchbox Mercedes Benz 300se

My friend Mark gave this to me as a gift. When I got the Benz, it was already painted in red, no wheels, and no windshield and window glasses. My first attempt was painting it green, and since I don't have the proper wheels for this Merc at the time, I used a tomica regular wheel and painted the middle to body color.


after a year, I decided to re paint and finally I found some decent wheels for my Benz...
