When Triumph updated the Herald as the Vitesse, Dinky followed suit. The big external change was the switch from 2 to 4 headlamps. Sadly, the baseplate did not have the real car's Vitesse script, but they did add an interior. Made 1964 to 1968 - I bought this one at Karl's favorite toy store sometime in the late 1960s for $1.29.

You musta beat me to that one!  I got a few Dinkys in those boxes at that same store in Nashville.  However, now, if you just look at that type box the wrong way, it falls apart!  😥
