I had to sort my Photobucket account out, and split a lot of pictures up into albums, so I thought I'd post a few from the Dinky Guy Otter album: Cheers, Chris Warr.

These are Guy Vixens not Otters. The Otter is the more modern replacement for this vehicle. I believe this originally came from Dr Cecil Gibson but he was wrong. I will post some more info. on this tomorrow. Dave

Chris--Nice set of Guy vans....I just love that set, the liveries are just wonderful and the various colors delightful. That is also nice that you have the later version with the ketchup bottle...very rare! Here are some of mine as well........ Terry

This was the vehicle which inspired a whole range of superb Dinky Supertoy vehicles which began to appear in 1947. Note the famous Guy Indian mascot on the top of the radiator, I will dig out a photograph of one of these later. Dave

Right you are Dave, Amongst other things the Otter had a different cab window line to the Dinky model, so it is clearly a Vixen, learn something every day! Mine aren't in great condition, and I will upgrade them as finances allow, but I always wanted a full set of vans, Chris Warr.

Dave--Thanks for showing us that.....that is quite a mascot to have and to use! Was that only used on the older trucks? Terry

It was certainly used in the 1940s and 50s. I think it had gone by the 1960s. Dave
