That is a very rare 'matchbox oddity'.  I have not
seen one listed for a while.  Last time they were
selling at about $275.  Not sure why this one is 3
times that. 

Matchbox went from red to purple the same time they
went fro regular wheel to superfast wheels (circa
1969).  They changed most wheels/base first as stock
was being changed out, so to see a newer body (in
purple) on the older base (regular wheel) is rarest
version of this car.

Go here for more complete detail on versions
available.  It is popular among MB collectors to try
and complete all variations among the cars.

my site is in desperate need of updating (not likely
in this decade!) This is the one version I do not own
(for obvious reasons).
