About This Item
The Matchbox Volkswagen Concept 1 Top Class Series 4 #18/100 is a 1999 die-cast release based on Volkswagen’s Concept 1 show car, the design that previewed the production New Beetle. This 36562 variation features an iridescent white body with blue lower-side striping and Volkswagen graphics, clear windows, a turquoise interior, chrome-style wheels, and a black plastic base.
The Volkswagen Concept 1 combines rounded retro-inspired bodywork with modern 1990s concept-car styling. Its arched roof, circular fender shapes, short overhangs, compact hatchback proportions, and Beetle-influenced silhouette reflect the design direction that later became the Volkswagen New Beetle. Matchbox captured those distinctive curves in a compact casting while retaining recognizable Volkswagen badging and trim details.
This version is #18 of 100 vehicles in the 1999 Matchbox lineup and #3 of 5 in the Top Class Series 4 group. The back-card checklist places it alongside the Lamborghini Countach, Porsche 959, Ferrari F40, and Mazda RX-7, giving the Concept 1 a place among the performance and exotic-themed models selected for this series.

Why Collect This Model
The Volkswagen Concept 1 is significant for its direct connection to the design that evolved into the Volkswagen New Beetle, making it especially relevant to collectors of Volkswagen models, 1990s concept cars, Matchbox Top Class releases, and early modern-retro automotive designs. The iridescent white finish, blue side graphics, vintage 1999 packaging, and long-discontinued Matchbox casting give this version a distinctive period-correct appearance.
