As well as its lovely box and Certificate of Authenticity and fact file...

Huh? What will that say? "This is to certify that this is not an authentic Dinky Toy and is therefore pretty much worthless"

They're too good.

That may sound like a strange thing to say, but when you look at details such as the radiator painting etc, it's too crisp, it's not 'Dinky' (they were painted with metal masks and a spray gun, so there is a softness to the edges). They've lost a massive part of the character of the originals.

There are, however, some very good Triang Spot-On reproductions being produced now.
