This Matchbox Models of Yesteryear model is a 1932 Mercedes-Benz L5 lorry, a classic vintage-style diecast from the Models of Yesteryear collection. The model is marked Y-6 on the base and is made in China. Collector references list this casting at approximately 1:64 scale.

The truck has the distinctive proportions and detailing you’d expect from an early 1930s commercial lorry, with a detailed cab, separate-looking body sections, vintage-style wheels and a practical working-truck appearance. The green version is associated with the Howaldtswerke A.G. Kiel livery and is commonly catalogued as the Y-41 version, although the physical model can still carry a Y-6 baseplate.

At around 1:69 scale, it is small enough to fit naturally into a vintage diecast collection while still having plenty of character when displayed. It’s a nice choice for collectors interested in Matchbox Models of Yesteryear, classic commercial vehicles, or historic European trucks.

Please check the photos carefully for the exact condition, paintwork and any signs of age or wear before purchasing.
