As a youngster Matchbox, Dinky and Corgi were my obsession. I would spend hours looking through their catalogues. Magical.

I've had more of these in my 50s than I ever had as a kid! The joy of Ebay and having hobby time to restore them. Long live Dinky 👏👏👏👏

Who else sat there saying "had that, had that, wanted that ..." nice to see, brought back lots of happy memories from simpler times.

Had the Spectrum Patrol Car. Bought it on vacation with my parents in Ithaca New York. My father was a teacher and had to attend a course at Ithaca college to further his degree. Got to stay at the dorm on campus in my own room and visit the town with my mom while he was in class. And visit places at night like 3 Boxcars put together where they showed silent movies and served snacks and drinks. Then visited Niagara Falls on the way back home. Great times.

I have the 1974 Dinky toys catalogue. I had the Pink Panther car, UFO toys and Jensen as a child in 1974. I was 9 years old. Brings back fond memories.

I have quite a lot of these still, as I was 8 in 1971, and my aunt bought me police set. Also the highway construction meccano, still in its box. It's played with, but still in good nick. Happy days.

Still have some of these toys. Some in boxes too! Remember this catalogue like it was yesterday..! Lol

I remember having a few of these. The Thunderbird ship and the Cadillac ambulance were my favorites. Wish I still had them.

Forgotten how good this company was.

Had a few of these but i especially remember the meccano army multikit because there was one piece missing lol. Nobody here who remembers these catalogues didnt look through them and go "right, i want that, that, that aaand that and that.....that, that and that too"

Oh wow grew up with Dinky toys I was 6 in 1974 and remember Patrick’s of Fulham had the full range one Easter I get the thunderbird 2 and shado mobile ,never understood why Dinky painted the thunderbird 2 metallic blue later on

OMG! I’ve got a Dinky and a Corgi catalogue from around 1977, it never occurred to me someone would post them on KZfaq like this, so glad you did though, without doubt one my of my all time fav toys. As a kid I would sometimes cut out the cars from mums big catalogue , from the toy section, and paste them into my own scrap book, a kinda wish list I guess. Thanks for posting.

My friend had the Pink Panther toy with the " rip- cord". I always wanted it, and have never seen one for sale since.Ridiculous money I bet!

When the Binns Road factory in Liverpool closed down in the early 1980s, the administrators wanted the quickest possible sale of the assets. Consequently all the die cast metal component moulds for these toys were last seen at Liverpool docks being loaded as ship's ballast, to be dumped at sea to offset the intake of sea water. Apparently the plastic component moulds were sold to a plastics company who used them to make replacement parts for the collector market.

Had that, had that, friend had that, wanted that, etc etc Great stuff.

dinky toys were brilliant!

I was reminded that I had this catalogue as soon as the video began. I also owned a fair-few of the vehicles on display, but I always wanted 917 Mercedes Benz Truck and Trailer but it was never available in my local toy-shop where I used to spend several hours of my week with that look of wanton desire on my face and fingers at the ready to do a quick calculation of how long it would be until Christmas. I was far too young to consider the idea of pre-ordering products, a)because I couldn't guarantee that my budget would cover the cost, and b) because I wanted everything now. I used to think that the boy who lived in that toy-shop must have been the luckiest boy alive. If the woman behind the counter was the owner of the shop and she had a son of about my age, then he had to be the luckiest boy alive... As a grown-up now, I would happily purchase every single item in that catalogue if I were given the chance. Sadly, the original company no longer exists and I don't care much for buying collectors items. (and my budget wouldn't allow it neither).

I can honestly say that the Merryweather was the best toy I ever owned- loved the locker for the hose and the working pump - hours and hours of fun:-))

I remember having this,thanks for the upload 🤩👍

I'm of the age to have had many of these toys!

Great days, great memories of my dad, got to say the music suits this perfectly 👌🏻

Please, Lord - just one Lotto win so I can buy ALL of these in mint condition. I don't ask for much in this life...

Can’t believe I had a lot of these when I was a kid,and I also cant believe there is a lot I didn’t have 😂 😂 😂

I'd forgotten about the helicopter with the Apollo module! I had one of those.

I have a few of the Ford D800 road sweepers and tippers also the tipper with the snow shovel

I owned some of these models

Nice.. I still have one of those MK1 Capris in very good condition. It is In metallic green, I once owned a real one in that colour. I also have one of the red and white Land Rover recovery truck in mint condition. (No, I won't sell it)

very enjoy😘 😘😘 cool dinky & corgi toy

A well done video. The slideshow timing was perfect. Thank you for sharing.

Nice, I still have exactly the same one and will never sell it ;)

love the artwork, so many models I have not seen before, thanks I enjoyed this - I will have to put up some of my old ones, I have some Corgi and Dinky catalogues from the 70s

OMG i Had this catalogue

Music is "invisible space journeys by Canton Becker on iTunes and Demonzier by Novakill,

I'd see them years later. Chipped paint, tire-less, string round the chassis, missing doors and cracked wind screens. RTA's and write offs in jumble sales..Gringy Toys.
