Interesting #134 Triumph Vitesse variant

Some years ago, I bought an interesting variant of the Dinky #134 Triumph Vitesse.

Bedford Articulated Truck variant - Again one of the very first models produced...

One of the very first DINKY 27G MOTOCART

by dinkyphil on Dec 07, 2013

I recently bought what I think to be one of the very first MOTOCART produced by DINKY. This example doesn't have the usual MOTOCART lettering on an oval casting, but has MOTO-CART initial casting. Never seen any picture of this variant on the net, so the mystery is now solved...
