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 ?

Fact of the week
At the opening ceremony of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1932, marching bands were instructed to walk out of step as they crossed the bridge. This unusual directive was given as a precaution due to concerns about the bridge's structural integrity during its early use.
