What year did Matchbox start with it's "New" Superfast series? I was under the impression that it originated in 2004. Based on the newest releases, and the collection I have amassed, I am now leaning toward 2005 as the first release of the "New" Superfast line. Unless the newly designed packaged cars are 2007 vehicles but I don't believe so. Did I confuse anybody else besides myself? :freak:

Also, which years did they do the USA vs "ROW" cars? I don't believe they did them every year.

Also, does anybody know if the current NSF cars are as limited as years past? Is it safe to assume they are limited to under 16,000 each?

What about the Superfast America series that was released later in the year last year? What are the production numbers for that series?

And the best of the British series while we are at it. Thanks in advance for help with these questions!

Superfast started in 04. There are differing numbers on different runs. Most are well below the number listed. There wer several very limited runs too. IE Gathering yellow 57 Chevy was only a 100 piece run). (I have this one if you need), Several other Code 2 models from both the US and Germany. Different Dealer models. Below is a listing of the regular released models. Hope this helps.
