A quick look at this photo and you would be forgiven for thinking the dinky is on top and the lesney is on the bottom but its the other way round,
the early lesney in green with red wheels and driver is pretty scarce,but not as scarce as the dinky roller with green wheels which i believe is known as the grantham roller,
