When i was a toddler we lived up in Liverpool for a short time, i don't remember anything of this unfortunately though i do have a souvenir from that time. This is a Dinky Mini police car which my Nan bought at a shop in Waterloo for me., However, this car is now in a very battered state without tyres, one of the doors and the paint is in a bad condition. In my memory it has always looked like this so i must have destroyed this toy and reduced it to this condition when i was a toddler. Amazing!
Just before Christmas i bought the same toy off of eBay in a much better (though still somewhat worn) condition. One of my model projects for this year will be to try and restore this Dinky car to something approaching a good condition! The original though will probably never look any better but i like it as a reminder of my apparently violent very young years.
