1950s Buddy L Hydraulic Dump Truck "mettoy"

1950s Buddy L Hydraulic Dump Truck

This item I picked up as a rusty mess last year. It had been heavily played with and there was no paint left and the tipper was really dented. I restored it to how you see it in the pictures with original style repro decals . This was actually made in the UK by METTOY using the "Buddy L" name from America . The body was cast metal and there was no plastic in any of the truck . I used modern paint and hand painted the silver /grey details.

Don't make them like this anymore !
