The Atlas Dinky Toys No. 33B Simca Benne Basculante Cargo is a beautiful reissue of a classic Dinky Toys model from the 1950s.

Founded in 1934 by Meccano Ltd., Dinky Toys quickly became a worldwide pioneer in the production of die-cast metal vehicles. Their models were known for their attention to detail, durability and realistic depiction of vehicles of the time. The Simca Cargo was one of the most popular trucks of the 1950s in France, particularly for its versatility and robustness.

The set comes in new condition with the original French brochure and the accompanying box, which further increases the authenticity and collector's value.

The Simca Benne Basculante Cargo is a popular collector's item, especially when offered in excellent condition with the original packaging and accessories. This model recalls the rich history of both Dinky Toys and the Simca trucks, and offers collectors a chance to own a piece of this iconic toy history.
