Vintage Dinky toys

Following a blip of my 1950s Matchbox toys, here are my 1960s Dinky toys. At least, the red lorry may date from the fifties, but the others I think are from the early sixties, the oldest being the Land-rover and trailer. 

Next came the Austin A30 that I think I bought with saved-up pocket money. Last but not least is the MGB sports car with - wait for it! - opening doors and light suspension. (The little driver is removable, though he stays in a sitting position with a prong in his bottom!) And I even have its box, marked with the price 5/9. Five shillings and ninepence. That's under 30p in decimal currency. Unfortunately, its windscreen broke off. But that's cos I played with my cars!
