The 1975 Mitsubishi Lancer Celeste is a true classic of Japan’s 1970s motoring scene. With its sporty coupe styling and lightweight build, the Celeste carved out a reputation as a fun, affordable driver’s car.

This Matchbox model captures the Celeste in its most iconic bright yellow paintwork, instantly recognisable to enthusiasts. Lift the opening bonnet to reveal the detailed engine — a nod to the spirited performance that made the Celeste such a beloved machine.

Presented in a retro cardboard box, complete with tissue wrap, this model offers old-school Matchbox nostalgia paired with collector-friendly, eco-conscious packaging.

The Toys101 Fast Dispatch Commitment

We aim to deliver your order within 2 to 4 business days.

Once you place your order, we’ll pick, pack, and dispatch it within 1 business day. So, if you order now, we’ll have it on its way by the same time tomorrow. If today’s a weekend or public holiday, we’ll dispatch it on the next business day.

You’ll receive two emails from us:

1. Invoice – sent once your order is picked and packed.
2. Tracking details – sent when the courier collects your parcel from our warehouse.

Delivery usually takes 1 to 3 business days, depending on your location. South Island and rural customers—you know the drill! During busy times (like the Christmas rush), delivery may take an extra 1 to 2 days.

Outer Island Deliveries

We love sending toys to the Outer Islands (e.g. Chatham, Kawau, Waiheke, Great Barrier)—thanks for shopping with us! We think you’ll find our delivery fees to these destinations very reasonable.
