[Humber-One-Ton Tom]

Hi Les, another great photo from your archive! An interesting note is that the classic Dinky Humber 1-Ton is in fact a model of one of the prototypes - I think this one - and one of the clues are the one-piece hatches on this prototype and also the toy.

The toy went on to have a longer career than the real thing - this prototype link shows that Dinky invested in the dies before anyone knew that the FV1600 project would be axed at the first batch.

Regards,
