When it comes to classic British cars, Matchbox does a pretty good job. This is their die-cast rendition of the 1954 Jaguar XK120 SE. In real life, this classic car would probably cost around $100,000 and--in show condition--it might cost more. However, I found this version at Dollar Tree for the fantastic price of only $1.

This car gives me the chance to enjoy the look of the long sleek bonnet and the curvaceous body. Unlike many of today's 1:64 scale cars, it has a presence and a quiet dignity that eschews gaudy decals and decoration. This may well be the classiest Matchbox car remaining in my collection.

Peering through the windows, I was delighted to find that this model featured the right-hand drive configuration favored in the U.K. It's a little detail and it's a pleasant surprise.
