I remember that in the toy store in 1975, I could only look at it in the box, because you were looking at six months pocket money to buy one. Great video amazing workmanship.

@@dougrandall937 my guess is that the person that typed that comment was a little child at the time, and maybe didn’t get much of an allowance. That’s the only thing I can think of, the toy was expensive, for someone that didn’t have the means to buy it, and he would have had to save up for 6 months to be able to afford it. I would say that it probably wasn’t that expensive to be able to afford as an adult, but it might have been the equivalent of a $15-$20 model now.

Ха!...в точку!..я жил в СССР , и такие машинки продавались за пару дней. Но денег то особо тоже не было у меня у школьника. Просил продавщицу оставить мне на пару дней. А я собирал пустые бутылки, сдал их в пункт приема и выкупил эту заветную модель автомобиля

This one, the Jaguar Police Cruiser and the Merryweather 285 Fire truck with working water pump were my 3 fav toys. How I obtained them was even more fun. Taking the boat from Ostend to Dover with my uncle who was captain on Sealink ferry’s and stepping into a toy shop in the UK to get one of those. Priceless kids dreams fulfilled

This is another great build. I think this also came as part of a set which I had but like most of my childhood treasures was lost to time. Another one that I need to look to out for and to capture again.

Managed to find a mint condition boxed one off ebay about 10 years ago. One of my favourite dinky vehicles as a kid in the early '70's. Did not cost as much as I thought it would, but quite rare I should think, even had the police accident signs with it. Great restoration, not a clue what happened to my original model but like many just wish I had kept them all. Unfortunately you not do realise how much they will be worth in the future! Whether any current models will be worth much in years to come will be interesting to see. Just not the same quality these days.

Excellent video. I had one of these when I was a kid in the 70’s together with a Police Range Rover. My most prized Dinkys. I played with them so much though they didn’t stand up to the use and as you said, they weren’t that well made to stand up to the abuse of an 8 year old and the doors and tyres came off etc. I lost the cones and signs and that was that. I still have the Range Rover in its battered condition and would love to restore it like this.

Dinky już wtedy były świetnymi modelami, bardzo szczegółowymi i zawsze z technicznymi udoskonaleniami.👍🏼 (Cóż... Tylko mnie nie było na nie stać w dzieciństwie...🙄😊) Dziś, jako "zwariowany staruszek DIE CAST" miło jest je znowu zobaczyć. Uważam za godne uwagi, że ten model był jeszcze kompletny i że jest to wcześniejsza wersja (z przesuwanymi drzwiami). Świetna robota, Paul, prawdziwe arcydzieło. (I dzięki za podpowiedź, jak wyprostować wygięte osie 👍🏼😎) Jestem pod wrażeniem po raz kolejny, wyraźnie kciuki w górę ode mnie za to 👍🏼. Dzięki za podzielenie się z nami moim przyjacielem. Miłego weekendu i błogosławionego dnia Wszystkich Świętych dla Ciebie i Twojej rodziny. Pozdrowienia z miejsca, gdzie stoi mała latarnia, a "staruszek" bardzo się cieszył z tej renowacji. 😎👮🏼👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠 Dinky were already great models, very detailed and always with technical refinements.👍🏼 (Well... Only I couldn't afford them as a kid...🙄😊) Today, as a "DIE CAST crazy old man" it's nice to see them again. I do think it's remarkable that this model was still complete and that it's an earlier version (with sliding door). Great work, Paul, a true masterpiece. (And thanks for the tip on how to straighten bent axles 👍🏼😎). I am impressed again, definitely a thumbs up from me for this 👍🏼. Thank you so much for sharing mate. Have a great weekend and a blessed All Saints Day to you and your family. Greetings from where the little lighthouse stands and an "old man" was very happy about this restoration. 😎👮🏼👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠 Dinky waren schon tolle Modelle, sehr detailliert und immer mit technischen Raffinessen.👍🏼 (Tja... Nur konnte ich sie mir als Kind nicht leisten...🙄😊) Heute, als "DIE-CASTverrückter alter Mann" ist es schön, sie wiederzusehen. Ich finde es schon bemerkenswert, daß dieses Modell noch komplett war und daß es eine frühere Version (mit Schiebetür) ist. Tolle Arbeit, Paul, ein wahres Meisterwerk. (Und vielen Dank für den Tip, wie man verbogene Achsen wieder geraderichtet 👍🏼😎) Ich bin wiedermal beeindruckt, von mir ganz klar ein Daumen hoch dafür 👍🏼 Vielen Dank fürs teilen mein Freund. Dir und deiner Familie noch ein schönes Wochenende und ein gesegnetes Allerheiligen.
