Majorette 60th Anniversary Premium Cars: Collecting Guide
Quick Answer: The Majorette 60th Anniversary Premium Cars are the flagship singles of the 2024 birthday wave: anniversary-liveried versions of the Alfa Romeo Giulia, Chevrolet Corvette C4 Convertible, Citroën HY and Volvo 240 GL, sold alongside a six-car decades set with era-styled logos. Sealed singles typically trade at R250–R400 in South Africa.
Where the Premium Cars Sit in the Anniversary Wave
Majorette’s 60th anniversary range in 2024 was deliberately tiered. At the top sat the Deluxe metal-box cars, at the entry point the giftpacks — and in the middle, the Premium Cars. This middle tier is where collectors spend most of their time: standard blister packaging keeps prices approachable, while the anniversary liveries and decade-styled Majorette logos give every car a clear reason to exist. Our Anniversary Edition range guide maps out how the whole wave fits together.
The Cars to Know
| Model | Anniversary Colour | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Alfa Romeo Giulia | Red | The modern sports saloon anchor of the set |
| Chevrolet Corvette C4 Convertible | Red | 1980s Americana with opening details |
| Citroën HY | Silver | The French van that became a design icon |
| Volvo 240 GL | White | Boxy Swedish classic in anniversary trim |
| Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL | Yellow | 1970s flagship saloon |
| Citroën DS 21 / Datsun 260Z | Anniversary liveries | Giftpack exclusives — not sold as singles |
Each car carries the Majorette wordmark redrawn in the style of the decade it represents — the kind of detail that rewards close inspection and makes the set popular with design-minded collectors.
What Makes These Worth Collecting
Three things drive demand for the anniversary premiums. First, the window: anniversary lines retire when the celebration ends, so supply is fixed. Second, the packaging: era-styled logos mean sealed examples carry a premium over loose ones. Third, the exclusives: the DS 21 and Datsun 260Z appear only in the giftpack, which forces completionists to buy the box set even if they only want singles.

South African Buying Guide
As with most anniversary Majorette product, SA collectors buy through imports and the secondary market. Realistic rand figures at the time of writing: R250–R400 per sealed Premium single, R500–R900 for the five-car giftpack, and a noticeable premium for the Volvo 240 GL and Citroën HY which local buyers favour. Check the where to buy Majorette in South Africa guide for seller types worth watching, and compare against the regular Premium Cars line before paying anniversary-marked prices for standard models.
