Details
The Y25-1 1910 Renault type AG van joined the range in 1983 when the Perrier version was released, The very first release had just three supports holding each side of the roof rack, This was quickly replaced by five supports to each side. In 1985 came the smart yellow and blue livery of James Neale which was quickly followed by the silver and blue of Duckhams oils, The blue/blue of Eagle Pencils became the third livery to be released in 1985.
Next came the British Red Cross Military(?) Ambulance. This was followed by the red and white livery of Tunnock's the Confectioners which was followed by the Belgian Delhaize Companys van which was to commemorate their 120th anniversary. The final release was the lavender livery of the Swiss company Suchard Chocolat (sic) which was issued in 1989.
The Renault was not replaced or deleted but no further issues were released.
In 1987 the Belgian food retailer Delhaize celebrated their 120th anniversary and to mark the event they had Matcbox produce the Renault in their livery, The model was painted dark green except for the baseplate which was black, It had a white plastic roof and darkish red plastic seats and gold plated 12 spoke wheels,
Because there is more than one national language in Belgium the tampo print on the sides of the van were written in Flemish (Dutch) and Wallon (French),
The baseplate inscription always read "Matchbox © 1986 Macau"
