A charming piece of early British toy engineering, this vintage Tri-ang Minic tinplate truck is a fantastic find for collectors of pre-war clockwork vehicles. Featuring its original red body with silver detailing and classic 1950s styling, it's the perfect addition to any vintage toy, tinplate, or military display collection. No key is included so it remains untested, sold as found for restoration or display.
Condition: Used vintage untested condition with no key. Plenty of marks/signs of use throughout. Paint loss/chips, rust spots, particularly but not limited to the silver coloured parts. Bent headlamps and a few dents etc. All photos are my own taken by me, and are of the actual exact product you shall receive. I do NOT use stock photos, all items shipped from the UK
Features & Highlights:
Authentic Tri-ang Minic tinplate model — made in England, circa 1950s
Classic clockwork mechanism (no key, untested — ideal for display or restoration)
Approx. size: 8.5cm long × 4.5cm tall × 5cm wide

How It Works (when complete):
Designed with a traditional wind-up clockwork motor, simply insert the original Minic key, wind the mechanism, and the truck would drive forward under its own power. As this example is untested and sold without a key, functionality is not guaranteed.
Every order will be packaged with care and attention to ensure its safe delivery to you. Sometimes (when possible) i re-use certain packaging materials so long as they are still viable and clean. Not only does this save on costs which in turn enable me to offer competitive postage prices, but its also more friendly for the planet.
In the very unlikely event that there is a problem please contact me and i will ensure that any problems are rectified in a respectful and timely manner.
Combined Postage:
Where possible I will combine postage for multiple purchases (which is almost always possible unless the orders are exceptionally large and/or heavy). There are two ways to combine postage.
If you purchase multiple items and payment is made i will refund you the postage discount as soon as i possibly can.
OR you can withhold payment until i can send you an invoice with the total to pay minus the postage discount.
International Customers:
Most of my items are listed with eBay's Global Shipping Programme for simplicity. This enables me to ship efficiently to most parts of the world. Unfortunately postage cannot be combined for international customers.
