Posted: Wed Jan 02, 2019 2:34 pm Post subject: Dinky Lorries and Cars |
|
|
I have a few newer Corgi commercials in a cabinet at home and my 7 year old has really taken an interest in the older lorries. I found some old Dinky lorries out the other day and put them in the cabinet too and that really got his interest.
From that we had a good look round at ebay to see what sort of prices things are going for. Nothing pristine in boxes etc just some older cars and lorries from the 50's that could go in the cabinet and he could then play with them. I was surprised to be honest how low some of the prices are, does anyone on the forum collect Dinky toys? _________________ Various Rootes Vehicles. |

In my early teens I gave all my Dinkies, Corgis and Matchboxes to a younger cousin but he subsequently disposed of them, I know not where. However I do still have three larger toys from my childhood. A diecast Massey-Ferguson, a battery operated plastic Velox and a battery operated MGA with remote steering.

I do recall that when I was a youngster my Father lost his job and we went through quite a tough period. He had a number of his old Dinky toys and he sold some of the rarer lorry ones just to put food on the table.
Its such a shame, though he did keep a small tub with his Dinky cars in. I recall there also being a couple of buses in the tub too. _________________ Various Rootes Vehicles. |

Hi
Peter: are those the Victory Industries of Guildford; Vauxhall and A-H?
I used to live about a mile from their place and had the Vauchall, an MM and an open wheeled racing car. _________________ Bristols should always come in pairs.

Yes Penman, they are Victory Industries. The green one is actually an MGA though. I don't know of hand who made the tractor. Possibly Triang. You can steer it with the steering wheel.
