Loads of them totally ignored the collectability aspect for money in later life quite a few came as a gift for getting teeth out no tooth fairy and cash under the pillow for me

"The rarest model was a Dinky 139 Ford Consul Cortina, South African Issue, ..."

Brings back memories of a fellow I dated briefly in the mid-1960s. He drove a Ford Consul Cortina North American issue. I hope he was able to store it safely when he was drafted into the infantry to fight in Vietnam. I know he survived, but never heard anything about him after that.
