I personally share your enthusiasm, as finding an old " Cosmic Blue" from my childhood in the 70's in the attic round my Folks, a few years ago, is exactly what got me collecting Matchbox cars all over again 😁 . .

Nice collection of Dinky toys. The old Hudson would be nice restored in original colours.the old Austin car was a great win .I remember an uncle owned one similar to this model I have the Dinky Studebaker in a maroon colour Always love the old Dinky trucks,they will look great restored. That Bedford could possibly be original, I have a number of Bedford Dinky trucks ,must admit I have not seen a tow truck like this but have over the years heard that there were tow trucks made by Dinky Great collection, looking forward to seeing the restoration videos

Some great little vehicles there. Looking forward to see them restored. That little wheelbarrow looks brilliant. Really liked the electric van.

The dinky tanker is not a Type 1 as both the type 1 and 2 have an open chassis - this one has a closed chassis and ridges on the wheel hubs - prewar and immediately postwar versions had smooth hubs. So i suspect when the grille came out, its brought some of the casting with it to create the 'square' hole at the front - but other than the chassis and the hubs, the casting is the same as the early versions - so why not restore it in a pre-war colour scheme - they were much more striking and Blacksquare do the decals :)

Nice collection of models, I love the Dinky Toys Bedford vans and trucks, I've got some of those in my collection. I've also got loads of Corgi, Dinky, and Britains Farm models. I grew up on a farm and have worked on our farm all my life so I suppose that's the reason why I've collected so many farm toys. Great video, thanks for sharing your collection with us. Cheers. Peter.

I also have one of those Dinky Commer breakdown trucks to do . Very best wishes. Peter.

Hello Peter, yes I have to admit I do like the bedford vans. I'm thinking of doing a sympathetic restoration by just removing and restoring the base plate and adding new wheels to the rear plus a new set of tyre's.

Excellent rebuild of the front bumper, I must get around to restoring a couple of them that I have. Would you be interested in a model donation? I have recently restored 2 Dinky Johnson Road Sweepers and have another in my stash which is fully complete and working, no damage, just the normal playworn scratching. It just needs a respray. You're very welcome to have it for your channel if you'd like it. Let me know. Best wishes. Peter.

I bought one of those pullers after seeing Nick using his. I used to pry the wheels off using a screwdriver but sometimes I'd bend the end of the axle. Have a great weekend. All the best. Peter.

I like the orange on the Land Rover. You could lift it a bit with some matt silver and the brave pills, to do the Galvy cappings round the pickup bed, but it looks pretty good The other Land Rovers will come up nicely, too! Good job on the Ferarri as well - trickier than it looks. Brilliant catch on the two Thames 400 caravanettes - I went mad on one and rebuilt an interior that no one will ever see... That old Alfa will come up well with a change of wheels, maybe in yellow, or the Land Rover orange, if you can find a trailer to build your own equipe! That would look the part. Comprehensive lot: you'll be busy! I recently did a Land Rover Wrecker and did it to Code3. I was happy!
