I still have a Dinky Thunderbird Fab1 in its box. Would never sell it, and I plan to take it with me into the afterlife! 😂

I had a Dinky Thunderbird 2, but it wasn't green it was a sort of light, metallic blue. Years later I went to a swapmeet and saw that same model on sale for £300. apparently I was told, because it was the wrong colour, it was worth a lot more, as Dinky then started to paint them in the right colour, green.

My 1960's Corgi & Dinky's are down, in the basement, in a box. They were all played with, though.

I wish I still had my dinky toys from childhood. I was really not pleased when our model railway stuff,which filled a large wicker box up entirely,was disposed of against my wishes along with a couple of other cherished family heirlooms.

I went along to a toy fair earlier this year which was mainly cars and trains. It was nearly all middle aged men going round the stalls similar to this film but I wonder in 25 years time if young people now will take their places or if they will move onto just vintage 80s electronics and figures. With inflation, those prices in 1983 seem high and I can only think that the value of these cars will reduce as the nostalgia won't be there.

I should think half those collectors are no longer there now.

very interesting video, i collect old die casts on and off and some of those old dinky's featured would now be worth a fortune even in chipped condition, the hobby has grown immensely since then but it is fascinating to see how much dinky toys were going for even that far back, the company had only been gone a few years by 83
