I thought for a moment that they might be official, because I
recognised the weirdly coloured artwork - then I remembered that was
because it's (partially) mine - I posted it to the list a few years
ago along with a few wallpapers. The photo, obviously, isn't mine, but
the colouring (which, in retrospect, is pretty odd) is.

I think they still pop up pretty close to the top of a google images
search, although I haven't looked in a while.

Recently there are some Oils Matchbox tribute trucks occasionally
popping up on ebay, e.g.:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200367029201&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:AU:1123

These do not seem to be official Matchbox releases. Does anyone have any
idea about the origin of these trucks? Are they simply fan-made or is
there some kind of Matchbox custom shop selling them? Are they in any
way officially licensed merchandise?

Cheers,

Stephan
