The second was titled Tins' Toys, identified by a "T" prefixed numbering system. The majority of both "WT" and "T" models were provided with a plastic baseplate.
During the 1970s, Tintoys issued their "Die Cast Sport Car Fast Wheels" series of race cars. From this manufacturer's own words on the blister card: "Die-cast Sport Car with fast-speed wheels, doll driver, chrome plated hub-caps and exhaust pipes, finished in bright colored metallic paints with adhesive markings". Some of these were also available in window boxes titled "Fast-Speed Wheels Die-Cast Mini Sedan". "Models of Classic Car" comprised of antique automobiles that are slightly larger scale than most Tintoys issued.
The tanks are diecast metal with plastic accessories and rubber treads. They are "free wheeling" with four wheels in the base allowing the tank to roll. The tanks were released under the TinToys name. TinToys also made a series of armoured cars: Saladin Mk II. M8, BTR 40, and Daimler MK II. The tanks were also distributed by Imperial Toy (1974) and under the Mighty Midget name. The Mighty Midget tanks were imported by George Borgfeldt & Co. of New York, a well known imported of toys. The Mighty Midget box mentions 8 different tanks five of which were the Chieftain, Char AMX 30, Tiger, and M551 Sheridan, and the Daimler scout car.
