Restored Dinky and Corgi Toys

[peekay]

If you can't afford mint Dinkys and Corgis and the ones you can afford are too beat up, look at restorations. These were all bought for between $7 and $20, only the Cadillac cost more.

It's a German NSU Sport Prinz, introduced in 1958 and made till I think 1967. I don't know much about them either except that they're pretty cute.
