Dinky Toys 215; Ford GT Racing Car

This is similar to the Ford 40-RV (132) which was also in the Dinky range. This one was made from 1966 to 1970, the RV (Road Vehicle) was made 1964 to 1974.

Dinky 215 the Ford GT was originally released in 1966 in white with spun hubs, later switching to cast wire spoked wheels. In 1970 it was changed from white to metllic green which is seen with either red or yellow seats. The ones to look out for are white with spun hubs or green with red seats.

You will see in the photos below that the earlier, spun hubs release has plastic headlamp covers, flush with the bodywork, while the later version has jewelled lights. They also differ in the gold mask spraying on the engine, on the later model an attempt has been made to use the mask spray to pick out the engine detail.
