Dinky Toys appeared in early 1934 when "Meccano Ltd" of Liverpool, England introduced a line of Modelled Miniatures under the trade mark "Meccano Dinky Toys". This very popular firm made wonderful toycars and Trucks in best quality, from the Fifties til mid Eighties. The Dinky trade-name changed hands many times before ending up as part of Matchbox International Ltd in the late Eighties.

Different number-plates and steering-wheels are excisting. There are rumours of a 96 in blue colour! Pre-production models were coloured blue-metallic. Does anybody know more about?
