Matchbox Volkswagen Camper (1970): 1970 #23

This turquoise bus has an orange roof that opens and closes.  Its clear windows surround a tan interior, and Superfast wheels roll beneath its unpainted metal base.

It was released from 1970 until 1972.

This well-played flea market find has suffered abuse and at some point was carelessly repainted. The original color is several shades lighter.
