The boxes are as described previously. The numbers represent 1, 2, 3,and 4th. series models. It shows the range such as it would not be any good looking for say a Y6-2 Bugatti in a A or B box as it doesn't exist in those boxes. Unless you know better!
| X = This combination is believed to not exist |
| ( ) = This indicates that confirmation of existence is required. |
| (a) = Different drawings on same type box. Side view or Angled view. |
| (b) = Different illustrations. Blue model or red model. Y6 only |
| (c) = Different illustrations. Green model or red/gold model. Y9 only |
| (d) = Different end flaps. 'New Model' or no 'New Model' in that order. |
| (e) = 'New Model' on end flaps. Existence without not confirmed. |
| (f) = Different drawing from earlier box. Confirmation req. if both drawings exist in same type box. |

| (h) = Exists as thin or thick script |
| (i) = Y3 Benz and Y13 model found in E box with the Matchbox logo on end flaps |
| conf.= This version has now been confirmed by myself. I would appreciate any more that you have to list that need confirmation. |
