Hi StukaF
I had loads of Dinky toys when I was young until my dad told me to grow up one day and dumped the whole lot. The first picture is a vehicle used in a Sci-Fi show over here in the sixties called UFO. The other two I am unsure of. I know they can fetch high prices but it all depends on condition.

Hi Kris, the tank is a British Chieftan. I still have mine!
Cheers, Ade.
Nice ones, Kris....................!
My two brothers had some of these Dinky vehicles in the late 50's
or early 60's and they were handed down to me. After a time,
Mother gave most of them away to the kid next door........
I also had a 'Centurion' tank on a carrier/trailer, an ambulance,
a Howitzer cannon, an 'Austin Champ', and some sort of
wheeled armored car with a turret. I like the knobby
tires and detailed little driver figures inside.
The older original series are the most expensive I think. Saw an
older but mint 'U.S. Jeep' not that long ago selling
in a shop for $125.
I'm sure there are a lot of these lounging around in our collections...

I still have my Shadow 2, Jeep, Thunderbird 2 & bren gun carrier (still has tracks) but heavily played with! had others but kids stole them
Kris, just found this thread, seeing though I am crap with plastic model kits and painting them...much more at home with a spray can and screwdriver...I thought I would kill some time by restoring some of the "Dinky" Leopard range of tanks...bought a few wrecked/well played with examples and armed with replacement spares and a can of Olivegelb here is the result.............very soothing and calming experience ! I shall do some more...
Prost ! Steve.
From this......
To this............................
Prost ! Steve.
