Wheel variations

Some more racing cars: 231 Maserati with yellow and with rare red plastic hubs. Kind regards, Rob

Simply amazing Rob......I have certainly never seen most of those! There sure are a lot of variations out there in just wheels. Terry

233 Cooper Bristol Racing Car with red plastic hubs and with very rare yellow plastic hubs. The blister packed model has black tires. Kind regards, Rob

Rob, nice set. There were also some Cooper packed in blisters with spun concave hubs and grey tyres.

239 Vanwall Racing Car with yellow and with scarce geen plastic hubs. Kind regards, Rob

Wonderful racers Rob! The carded versions have survived so well, I have '70's boxes that have never been opened that are dropping to bits! CW.

Kind regards, Rob Well we did not have to wait too long to be struck with awe - again! Not only the rare 233 with red plastic hubs but on the ultra rare card blister pack like the previous 239. Again, what a fabulous collection! BH

230 Talbot-Lago Racing Car with red and yellow plastic hubs. Kind regards, Rob

Before returning to Racing Cars, some varations of the 414 Rear Tipping Wagon. In light blue with light blue hubs, violet blue hubs, cream hubs and in royal blue with grey hubs. Some other versions will be shown in the Trade Box thread. Kind regards, Rob

A 'humble' and common model like the 14C/401 Coventry Climax Fork Lift also has some nice variations. Orange with green wheels, the scarce brown with green wheels, the rare red with red wheels and the scarce late orange with green plastic wheels and plastic driver. Kind regards, Rob

Hi Rob, you make most of us - also very serious Dinky Toys collectors - feel like Calimero! Now I wonder, seeing all those variations you collected, why you could resist those French made or French imported Liverpool cast Dinky Toys. In fact I am a British made Dinky Toys collector myself too, but those French versions made me cross the British-French threshold every now and then. By the way, curious to see the wrongly placed, mirrored handle, as pictured on the French box, and the allowance permitted for (an) other colour finish(es) to be found when opening the box! Kind regards, Jan
