My dad died a few weeks ago and I was having a search in cupboards, etc (as one does at such times) to look for long-forgotten things which suddenly become relevant - as well as dozens of "love letters" sent to my mum when dad was in the army (I didnae read them) I found many "Dinky" cars in their original boxes. Mum said that dad bought them when we we kids and decided to leave them at the back of the cupboard untouched in case they might "make money" some day.
I'd have had the wheels off them in seconds if he had given them to me!

And looking at the OP, they are older than "Silver Jubilee" (1977)

Can't see the point. Toys, records, whatever, bust them open and use them.

Yep, I am currently wrecking the feck out of all the ones I found. Vroom vroom. And setting fire to the tyres.

Did it have the box for it?
I think the box got binned in 77 on the way home from the shop.

Yes, I had one of those. Don't think I've seen it for about 38 years though so goodness knows where it is.
Didn't they do one where the doors opened? Or am I thinking of a different Dinky or Matchbox toy?

This one, 297, doesn't do anything as sophisticated as that. The wheels turn, that's all.

Ah, if the wheels have been turned that's 80% off the value.
