Description

A classic Dinky Toys No.279 Aveling-Barford Diesel Roller, a well-known die-cast construction model produced by Dinky Toys, representing the iconic British engineering firm Aveling-Barford.

This model depicts a road roller finished in traditional red with contrasting cab detail, complete with driver figure and dual roller drums.

Marked “Master Pavior” to the side, it reflects the real-life machinery used in road construction throughout the mid-20th century.

The model is housed in its original plastic display case and branded base, clearly marked “279” and “Die-Cast Metal.”

Packaging of this type adds significant collector appeal, particularly as many examples have been separated from their cases over time.

Dinky Toys models are highly regarded for their durability, detail, and nostalgic value, making them a staple in die-cast and vintage toy collections.
