Wiggy, thanks for you info. Other Coventry Climax engines evolved into 40s and 50s racing car engines, far more glamorous !

In addition to that Dinky Toy, I have from that era (?) a rough condition "Lone*Star" similar size diecast toy truck that has a carriage that can be raised by rack and pinion, a seized tilt and trunnion steering that can be steered from lever protruding from top of the counterweight. It appears to have had an overhead guard so it must be later than the Climax. Its the only one I have ever seen.

Are you Barry B ?
