THE CASE OF THE PLASTIC LIMO

I had this friction plastic limo as a kid. How I loved that little plastic suitcase that slipped neatly in the boot.

Did you have one like this?

    Its funny, in the sixties, a simple thing like having an opening boot and some luggage to go in, made a toy really special. like the little crate of bullion on the Dinky MSV, a nice touch. Toys today need to walk, talk, drive, make the tea and have AI on board!

      Die-casts had fab accessories deffo Mish. They were sometimes the best bits.

    I adored die-casts with accessories. I remember a police van complete with cones and barriers. I loved that van.
