Description
A Dinky 443 Tanker Wagon advertising National Benzole. 1958. Complete with Original Box. Marked underneath Dinky Toys Made in England Meccano Ltd.
The vintage Dinky and Matchbox vehicles listed by myself come fro my deceased father's collection. There are over 100 in the collection. They were purchased by him during the late 1950's through to about 1969. They were used as part of the "scenic backdrop" of his large model railway layout - a recreation of the MGN (Midland & Great Northern) line between Norwich and Great Yarmouth. The vehicles were never "played with". The vehicles are priced according to the criteria set out on the Toymart.com website, adjusting downwards for the actual condition of the vehicle and also for the box (all original as I understand) where there is one. The date of production is also from this same source. Almost all vehicles are near perfect, with just one or two with a tiny paint chip or similar - these will have been graded "B". The boxes are similarly graded for condition, and the various types of Matchbox are as set out in the “rockertron.com” website - starting with the Series A "Moko Lesney" boxes from 1953-4, through to the F Series (Regular wheels) from 1969.
Note that the box illustrations do not necessarily match the colourways of the actual model contained. I have tried to indicate variations from the standard production models. No doubt there are rare and potentially more valuable variations that I have not recognised - it is only in the last few weeks that I have taken an interest in this dynamic collecting field.

Cancellations
We offer free cancellations and full refund for orders cancelled before dispatching. View full policy.
Returns
We have a 14-day return guarantee for orders from individual sellers, within the UK and European Union. View full policy.
UK sales only, except for items that can be posted .
Any overseas purchaser of larger items must arrange their own collection from my premises, and shipment to the destination.
I offer FREE DELIVERY to mainland UK addresses, including London*, on some of my listings. I hope that this makes the whole purchase process more straightforward for you.
*Central London Congestion and city ULEZ charges may sometimes require a minor supplement, but see below **
Delivery is out-sourced in many cases, so each consignment has its own individual time scale. For London deliveries I use a local (to me) dealer colleague that make trips every 2 or 3 weeks. They like to call as early in the morning as possible. I may personally deliver items to addresses within a 2.5 hour drive of North Lincolnshire, and may consider longer journeys to less congested and rural areas.
I am happy to give a 10% discount on all goods collected - this may save you from £5 reaching right up to £300 based on current listings!
Delivery is made to your door. Further assistance may be available at the discretion of the Courier/Delivery person.
Deliveries are made in the expectation that, for heavy or bulky items, assistance will be available when the delivery is made, particularly when ground floor access is not available. This may mean just holding doors open, but it may mean assistance in lifting of the item. So, it is important to let me know of any potential difficulties! Where needed a 2nd delivery person will be involved, but this may occasionally mean a supplementary charge will be made, but if this is the case it will have been discussed and agreed with you beforehand.
**When free delivery is not available Payment will be by card as part of Vinterior's normal accounting procedure. Where a Congestion charge or similar is payable by the delivery vehicle (where multi-drops are involved any charge would be pro-rata'd according to value) it may be necessary to pay the small supplement directly to the courier. We will have discussed this prior to delivery. This would not include deliveries of smaller items via parcel post or similar.
IMPORTANT - When ordering large items such as Settees, sideboards, tables, and wardrobes please check that the items will come into your property through the intended door; that the space you intend to place it is big enough; and that you can get it around any corners, or up the stairs if that is your intention. Anything with longer legs can often be worked around corners...
Please check your item on arrival if you can. It will have been carefully packed, and where I am directly involved, carefully handled. I am confident that you will be delighted with your purchase!

Seller Reviews
Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 17th October 2024
Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.
To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.
Can I cancel an order?
If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason not to purchase the Goods before they have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.
The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the delivery costs are non-refundable.
To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.
Can I return an item?
At Vinterior, we understand that sometimes a piece may not be the perfect fit once it's in your home. That's why we offer a 14-day return policy, allowing you to return any item within 14 days from the date of delivery for any reason.
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund or to have the issue fixed when possible.
Please note that certain items are non-refundable, including those that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to your specific requirements.
Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return
Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.
Item not fit for purpose
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
How to request a return
To initiate a return the customer needs to log in to their Vinterior account and click Create a return on the order page. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.
How you will be refunded?
Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt of the item, and Vinterior will refund the original payment method.
If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.
What can't be returned?
As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.
Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.
Vendors may refuse a return of an item if the Customer has altered it in any way.
Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
