Description

The Matchbox K-2 Muir-Hill Dumper is a must-have for collectors and fans of vintage diecast toys. It was first introduced in 1961 as part of the Matchbox "King Size" series of die-cast toy vehicles. The series was designed to be larger than the standard Matchbox cars and trucks, with a focus on greater detail and functionality.

The K-2 Muir-Hill Dumper was modeled after the popular British dump truck of the same name, which was manufactured by Muir-Hill Ltd. from the 1950s to the 1970s. Muir-Hill Ltd.was a company based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. In the 1930s they began producing heavy-duty tractors and construction equipment, which included dumpers of various sizes. The Matchbox version of the dumper featured a tilting dump bed that could be raised and lowered.

Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the Matchbox K-2 Muir-Hill Dumper remained a popular toy among children and collectors alike. The model underwent several design changes during this time, including variations in color and decals.
