Yesterday morning,
a new child is arrived.Badly repainted,
I will try to clean it.I started with the front wheels.I took out the white paint.it ' s not perfect yet but it ' s a beginning.If some members have ideas on the way to make it,
their advices are welcome.I think that it was a two tones ' blue
and yellow ' Taxi of 1939
or 1940.Some few were made just
after
the war.[img] / images / sites / default / files / old - forum - images / CIMG1928.jpg [/img] [img] / images / sites / default / files / old - forum - images / CIMG1929.jpg [/img] [img] / images / sites / default / files / old - forum - images / CIMG1930.jpg [/img] Cheers Richard

I just received 3 new Dinky ' s in the mail late this past week,
so will post a few pictures.In this first one,
I will focus on the Supertoys Blaw Knox Bulldozer,
which I am so excited to finally have.When I was much younger
and collecting Dinky Toys,
I really wanted the bulldozer,
but it was a lot more expensive than the Heavy Tractor,
so I settled for that,
and never did pursue the bulldozer.Some time ago,
I had read some more postings on this delightful model,
and decided it was high time to find one.There are many for sale on the websites,
such as eBay,
but almost all of them do not have the tracks anymore...they have rotted off
and disappeared.So when I saw this one,
in excellent condition,
with the tracks,
and with the box,
I had to have it.And I was not disappointed.It does have a couple of small nicks
and some paint wear on the blade,
but it does not look played with.The green tracks are in wonderful shape,
although I am very careful not to move them much.The big surprise was the box.It is one of the early Supertoy boxes,
stapled together,
and also has both inserts present.
And besides that,
it also had a small separate piece of paper reminding you to oil the tracks,
for smoother operation.I think this box is
from
around 1952
or so,
so that was an unexpected thrill to get all of that.I have not had a chance to take some pictures alongside its brother,
the Heavy Tractor,
but I will soon.Terry [img] http: / / i929.photobucket.com / albums / ad133 / thardgrave / English % 20Dinky % 20Large % 20Commercial % 20Vehicles / DinkyToysBlawKnoxBulldozerlfthighbladeraised_zpsc1092fd7.jpg [/img] [img] http: / / i929.photobucket.com / albums / ad133 / thardgrave / English % 20Dinky % 20Large % 20Commercial % 20Vehicles / DinkyToysBlawKnoxBulldozerrtside_zpscbdccde1.jpg [/img] [img] http: / / i929.photobucket.com / albums / ad133 / thardgrave / English % 20Dinky % 20Large % 20Commercial % 20Vehicles / DinkyToysBlawKnoxBulldozerrear_zps06ba7131.jpg [/img] [img] http: / / i929.photobucket.com / albums / ad133 / thardgrave / English % 20Dinky % 20Large % 20Commercial % 20Vehicles / DinkyToysBlawKnoxBulldozerdriverclose_zps80ab5a8d.jpg [/img] [img] http: / / i929.photobucket.com / albums / ad133 / thardgrave / English % 20Dinky % 20Large % 20Commercial % 20Vehicles / DinkyToysBlawKnoxBulldozerwithbox_zps2f8a34f7.jpg [/img]

Richard,
Great buy.This Peugeot 402 must be the limousine,
not the taxi as no yellow paint can be seen at all.As the yellow was applied first
and would be seen were the blue paint is scratched.

Dear Jacques.For me,
it is a ' Taxi ' ! As you can see on the photos here under,
there are yellow traces inside,
as usual on this kind of item.[img] / images / sites / default / files / old - forum - images / CIMG1931.jpg [/img] [img] / images / sites / default / files / old - forum - images / CIMG1932.jpg [/img] Cheers

Then it must have been striped
and repainted in blue.

Just arrived: killing two birds with one stone I managed to acquire both 80b (Jeep Hotchkiss - Willys, 1958)
and 80c (Char A.M.X.13 tonnes, 1958) of the French 80 - series military Dinky Toys as issued between 1957
and 1959.[img] / images / sites / default / files / old - forum - images / IMG_0146.jpg [/img] [img] / images / sites / default / files / old - forum - images / IMG_0135.jpg [/img] [img] / images / sites / default / files / old - forum - images / IMG_0123.jpg [/img] Just the 80f (Renault carrier ambulance militaire),
the only one of this half - a - dozen issued for the first time in 1959,
is wanting.

As these French series 80 items are not scarce at all,
it is rather a matter of patience than a matter of money to find fine examples ! So I just waited many years for them to come along in this virtually mint / boxed condition at a price for which much poorer examples use to show up ! Some more patience now for an affordable 80f to show up in similar condition.Best regards,
Jan

Lovely
set
Jan ! The Ambulance was the only one I had as a kid,
were they sold over here,
or would mine have been a visitor ? I had a few CIJ models that I ' m pretty sure were never sold in the UK,
but seemed to turn up regardless ! Chris Warr.
