Full size Dinky toys

I haven't found a topic similar to the "Full size Matchbox toys" for Dinky or Corgi, so I'll start this thread with this nice one:


Dinky France 1420 / Dinky 179 - Opel Commodore

And standing at an Opel dealer in my vicinity (in Vienna) - not sure if it is for sale as there is no price.

Oh yes, that is nice and clear evidence of the upper hand Opel had over the comparative British Vauxhall version, thank's.

Carry on posting here as this could be a nice long running thread with so many Dinky models based on real vehicles.
