OK - Christmas Toy car time, try and do in some order but heck, its Christmas and you do not always get what you want.

So going for the green,

What is it,

who made it,

and model number.

[SL]

As a guess, I think it is a Dinky Vauxhall Cresta Saloon 164 released in March 1957.

Advertised in the may 1958 issue of Meccano Magazine price increased to 3/-.The model was in production during 1957 - 1960. 
Based on the 1956 E series car that had the larger rear window and a revised grille.
The original price was 2/11 .
It was available in red & cream, green & grey finish.

[nopanic - neil]

Ok - what can you tell me about this one


It is made by a company you have heard of!

[nickliv]

Well bent? Is that a phrase that the youth of today use to indicate something is splendid beyond compare

Have you been hanging round Christchurch railway station?

[nopanic - neil]

the condition - it's has play well.

As for the manufacture - hint - 1959 era - see above.

Everyone on this forum has owned or played with a toy from this company.

model no. - 257

So who knows more?

[nopanic - neil]

As a clue, did this company just make kids toys or did they make other products, like firearms, or main battle tanks?  Just wondering as the clue's have a certain ring of familiarity about them

they just make toys, and as far as I know never made firearms - not even toy ones!

There was a hint on the hint before - Bet kids had some in the stockings today.

[nopanic - neil]

I'm sure they did but who cares, next

You give up to easy, here is another pic of same truck but a tow truck this time.

[Canada Phil]

Hey Neil Where are you
 Did the Spiders in the dark dank basement get you
 Some answers and a proper Red CAR if you please.
 Phil who knows very little but enjoys the pictures

[Mr. Invincible Mou]

Well, as this seems to have gone a bit quiet, I will have a guess.

I'm thinking either a Dinky or a Corgi, but I am going to go with the Dinky.

[nopanic - neil]

Sorry been busy - working, something I do not like doing.

Well - I'm shocked no one worked out what it was.

The vehicle was a Lego Bedford truck -

hint was

the condition - it's has play well.

The company name Lego was coined by Christiansen from the Danish phrase leg godt, which means "play well".

Some of the other cars made -



they even made a E type

and some even came with their own garage.

and now for the next one - back shortly 

[nopanic - neil]

as i said previously, the clues had a ring of familiarity about them, obviously not up to the job, so it keep it simple, but well done for the variety

Thanks - Happy new year, will try harder NOT.

Back shortly
