As a guess, I think it is a Dinky Vauxhall Cresta Saloon 164 released in March 1957.

Advertised in the may 1958 issue of Meccano Magazine price increased to 3/-.The model was in production during 1957 - 1960. 
Based on the 1956 E series car that had the larger rear window and a revised grille.
The original price was 2/11 .
It was available in red & cream, green & grey finish.

Have you been hanging round Christchurch railway station?

As a clue, did this company just make kids toys or did they make other products, like firearms, or main battle tanks?  Just wondering as the clue's have a certain ring of familiarity about them Grin

they just make toys, and as far as I know never made firearms - not even toy ones!

There was a hint on the hint before - Bet kids had some in the stockings today.

Well, as this seems to have gone a bit quiet, I will have a guess.

I'm thinking either a Dinky or a Corgi, but I am going to go with the Dinky.

Sorry been busy - working, something I do not like doing.

Well - I'm shocked no one worked out what it was.

The vehicle was a Lego Bedford truck -

hint was
Quote
the condition - it's has play well.

Quote
The company name Lego was coined by Christiansen from the Danish phrase leg godt, which means "play well".

Some of the other cars made -



they even made a E type

and some even came with their own garage.

and now for the next one - back shortly

as i said previously, the clues had a ring of familiarity about them, obviously not up to the job, so it keep it simple, but well done for the variety Grin
