Stands were made for the first 2 Series. (pictured here In correct # order starting with the top row going down #1 Porsche 928, #2 Lamborghini Countach, Etc)
The Premiere line is similar line of collector cars which replaced the World Class Series. The cars are detailed with rubber tires. World Class was released between 1989 and 1995 and Premiere for the rest of the 1990s and some after 2000.
The following is a list of the World Class and Premiere Series of cars:
There were 2 releases for Series I, One release with the Matchbox logo in the bottom right hand side in red, that set did not have numbers on the packaging. A second release with the Matchbox Logo in black that release also had the #'s under the name of the car.
#9 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud, #10 Ferrari F40 (Red) #11 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe, #12 Cadillac Allante(Grey), #13 BMW M-1, #14 Lincoln Town Car, #15 Jaguar XK-120, #16 Corvette Grand Sport
This series did not keep the numbering scheme of the previous sets. Most of the vehicles in Series 4 set were duplicates from other sets but in different colors so they kept the same number they previously had instead of getting new numbers. The notable exception the Lamborghini Diablo which carried #23 which was previously allotted to the Lamborghini Countach the year before whch itself was a duplicate of #2 in Series 1. The erroneous #'s printed on the packaging this release:
This series ignored that the previous series was numbered incorrectly and continued the numbering scheme as if those numbers were correct. So from series III to this series, 6 #'s were skipped. Numbers 25 through 30 never truly existed.
#31 Jaguar XJ-220, #32 Lamborghini Diablo(Black (not pictured below) (Black Countach below was never part of this series)), #33 Cadillac Allante (Red), #34 Jaguar XJ-6, #35 Corvette (White) #36 BMW 850-I
