Dinky 23e/221
Speed of the Wind Racer


The Speed of the Wind Racer was introduced in 1936 and subsequently renumbered to 221 in 1954. Early versions of this racer were available in many colours including red, blue, yellow and silver with black herring-bone tyres. After the model was renumbered to 221, the more traditional colour of silver was used. Two models of the baseplates were observed (see two versions below).
