Matchbox Blistor: 1997 Mclaren F1 GT

The 1997 McLaren F1 GT has just made its debut as a Basic (Mainline) car for the first time in 2026.

​While the "Moving Parts" version with the opening hood has been around since 2021, this new "Basic" version is a separate, sealed-body casting. It is part of the 2026 MBX Showroom sub-series.

​2026 Basic Release Details

• ​Color: British Racing Green (Silverstone Green)
• ​Series: MBX Showroom (Model #32 of 125)
• ​Assortment: Mix 5 (Case E)
• ​Features: Being a "Basic" model, it lacks the opening engine cover of the Moving Parts line but maintains highly accurate proportions. It features detailed front and rear tampos (headlights/taillights) and the signature "Longtail" rear deck.
