COLLECTOR CODES (001-350) or MAN#s (1-350) for Matchbox Miniatures produced without the 'Lesney' name between 1983 and 1998.

For how to obtain a printable copy of this list, with full notes, etc., please see the Miniatures page.

Most of the notes speak for themselves.  If needed, I will decode(!) them here at a later date.  Suffice to say that the Model Name is printed in CAPITALS exactly as found on the base of the model.  Any further description, in small type here, is not found on the model.

It should be noted that every Miniature made after Lesney Products went into liquidation has a MAN#.  The 'First Release' dates shown here are the years in which existing models emerged without the Lesney name.  3 figures are used for numbers below 100 to avoid confusion with any '75 series' number.
