A memorable Dinky indeed. Mine too has a few early minor blemishes and has long lost its box, but I have had it since about 1960. Many of my early Dinky Toys got play use by my son so they have a second reason for sentimental attraction. Thanks for the reminder and memories everyone.
Yes indeed. True Scale Models did a 1:43 a few years ago. Not as restful on the eye as the old grey Dinky, I grant you, but it's very nicely done and I am happy to own one. Needless to say, people are now offering them online at anywhere between £200 and £400.
@graeme-ogg I have that as well. I had posted pictures of it and the George Harrison Mini on the old 1/43 Forum. Unfortunately, those pictures disappeared as pictures sometimes did then, and incredibly I didn't keep my copies of them. Too bad, because I had also included a Yellow Submarine in the pics.
