My aunt used to work there. Wish I'd kept all the cars she gave me in their original boxes and never opened them! Be worth a fair bit today.
 
I had the tray when I was a nine year old, wish I'd kept that too, would have been worth a few quid. I also had a plastic Beatles 'wig' if you can call it that, It was just a thin plastic moulding which fitted tightly over your head like a swimming cap. He would have looked a right tool if he was wearing one of those in work.

I think you may have mixed it up with the Mettoys factory.

I don't think the Metal Box ever made toy cars.
