I think most, maybe all, I have not posted here yet. Without Dinky, we may not have had a 1:43 hobby at all.
40E Standard Vanguard
132 Packard convertible (a poorly shaped 1953 Cavalier, I think). Light green is a recent add - I've had the tan one since I was a kid.
161 Austin Somerset
172 Studebaker Land Cruiser 1952
192 DeSoto Firesweep 1957 (Dinky calls it a Fireflite). I already had the turquoise car.
260 Morris J-Type Postal Van (just showed up last week)
470 Austin A40 Van
561 Blaw-Knox Bulldozer (with aging rubber treads intact)
966 Albion Marrel Multi-bucket. These days a building being renovated might have a dumpster deposited for discarded materials, same purpose.
982 Bedford OSS Auto Transporter
Now for the French ones!
90A Richier Diesel Road Roller
548 Fiat 1800 Estate
577 Berliet GAK Cattle Truck
588 Berliet GAK Beverage Truck
887 Unic Isozard BP Tanker

While I no longer have these in my collection, they sure are fun to see. Thanks for posting Harv.

All great to see Harv.... who among us didn't have at least a few of these, while growing up, right?

Great new Dinkys, Harvey! I am just catching up with the Forum after being out of town for three weeks! I stopped buying them year ago but could not resist these 3 versions made for Denmark. Just received this year.

@karl Jeez Karl, I had two of those on my Countryside table 2 or 3 years ago, after they languished on ebay for half a year. An English gent we all know hmm'd and haw'd and finally bought them. A few months later I saw them on Vectis, and they went for a much higher price. Whoever bought them could have gotten a better deal when I had them on ebay. Just curious, where did you find yours?

@mg-harv A collector friend found them at a flea market in Copenhagen. If I had seen the Falck decals on yours, I would have surely bought them!

@karl I sold them off as part of a move to concentrate on only US fire apparati. Here are the ones I had, so you have a Landie and an ERF to hunt down.

@mg-harv Had the Land Rover and ERF and ambulance for a long time - never bought those 3 others though until this year...
