Here is a photo of one of my Dinky Toys British military vehicles that I picked up in the 1950s. More will follow.

Hey Bud-

I love it!!! I am a huge fan of the "GREEN MACHINE"- the hard green plastic tanks. That guy there just has so much history behind it- probably been in more engagements than even the most hardcore Roman Legionaire.

Those solid green plastic mold tanks will always have a special place in my heart- hours upon hours were spent playing with those things- took them to school, even hid some in my bed so I could practice night manuevers as a kid (under the bed sheets, after my parents put me to bed).

Great piece- thanks for sharing.

Glad you like the Centurion. Actually its all metal with moveable rubber tracks. As I recall all the Dinky Toys from England were metal in the 50s.
I'll post more from the set.
