Boyhood Dreams Come True at The Forge – With a Little Help from Matchbox

Every classic car lover remembers the thrill of pulling a brand-new Matchbox car off the peg in a corner shop. Those tiny blister packs weren’t just toys – they were miniature portals to adventure, freedom, and open roads. For many, they sparked a lifelong love affair with cars.

That spark lives on at The Forge Prees, where one of our favourite arrivals – a breathtaking 1962 Austin Healey 3000 MkIIA – has captured hearts once again… this time, on a global scale. The car’s striking livery and unmistakable presence impressed even the team at Matchbox, who’ve now commissioned a faithful replica of this very model — right down to the number plate: 101 XVT.

While you won’t find the miniature version on toy shop shelves just yet, the real deal is available right now at The Forge. This is your chance to own the car you once raced across kitchen floors — only now it comes with chrome, carbs, and keys.
