1982 is an interesting year for the model listings. There were quite a few new models released, but yet the 1982 catalogue shows the current line-up, as well as the new models and their designated MB numbers.
The table below shows this comparison between ‘current’ and ‘future’ releases:
| Model No. | 1982 Catalogue Release | 1982 “Future” Release |
| MB25 |  |
 |
| MB26 |  |
 |
| MB42 |  |
 |
| MB51 |  |
 |
| MB72 |  |
 |
What is even more noticable is that MB38, MB41 and MB48 are completely missing from the line-up. In 1983, Matchobx ‘filled’ in these missing models with the following:
MB38 Model ‘A’ Ford Van
MB41 Racing Porsche 935
