2/28/20 63/100 4-wheel ATV

Matchbox wasn’t shy of making any castings from any mode of transportation in 1999 and one of them was a simple 4-wheel ATV, and just like the Dirt Bike it features a rider with helmet, goggles, and cool jacket graphics ready to hit the trails.  The rider is removable, and the rest of the ATV looks pretty nice with a metal red body, dual round headlights on the handlebars, detailed coil springs and bumper guard up front, and a single exhaust at the rear.  Even those familiar truck tires look great here.  The ATV is very maneuverable and easy to display compared to the Dirt Bike, yet over the years the casting has had few uses and at one point even lost the rider for cost cutting and let’s not forget the many ATV’s that Matchbox has made that has finally emerged to a realistic ATV in 2018 from Kawasaki for the Jurassic World set.
