I know why you thought this,no decals and a lowered body ,but this was down to a baseplate that was loose and had been put back upside down giving a lowered look,good try though :D

well done ewan !!!!
its missing the rag and bone panels so not that easy to spot just looks like a farm cart,i wanted this one because its the darker yellow version and whats interesting to me anyway is you can clearly see the pale yellow undercoat.

Just checked and its 1992,is this good :?:
Thanks for checking. 1992 is a standard variation. The 1992 and 1993 boxes have the badge located on the left while the 1991 box usually has the badge on the right, behind the car. But there are some 1991 boxes with the badge on the left, and I was hoping for a 1991 date. ;)

In the second picture it would be the Dinky Horse Transporter for me, even though it looks like it is missing the glazing. Thanks for sharing....

Ramsay was out of date when i got one in the nineties.
Its still out of date with variations not mentioned.

there are a few model variations that are so obscure nobody knows about it. That's why I missed this forum with all the rare ones that pop up.

Altogether there were 53 dinkys including dublo in the two lots,i have a friend who lives just around the corner who collects/buys/sells dinky and he had all the dinkys and the boxed bedford low loader off me,both him and me didn,t recognise it has a dinky on the photo and when they came neither of us had seen one before,although they are pretty cheap in france,well spotted !!!!!!!!!,i just wish i had took some photos before it went lol
