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.

the condition - it's has play well.
As for the manufacture - hint - 1959 era - see above.
Everyone on this forum has owned or played with a toy from this company.
model no. - 257
So who knows more?

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  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 the condition - it's has play well. 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 |
