Dinky Toys 651; Centurion Tank

The Centurion was the primary British main battle tank of the post World War II period, and was a successful tank design, with upgrades, for many decades. The chassis was also adapted for several other roles and was still in use post 2000 in some regions.

This Dinky Toys Centurion Tank was made from 1954 to 1970. Later releases have a screwed on base and plastic rollers, other than that iw as mostly unchanged. It was produced and sold in huge numbers and is not very highly valued.

This Dinky was acquired from a private collection in August 2015
