Yeh, it's alright for you young ones, just you wait until you get your 'Bus-Pass' and try reading the small-print on that and when you have, the bloody Bus has gone and left you standing there like a spare p**ck at a Wedding!!!

I think Johnboy is right, I would also say its a Zodiac and a Cresta.
Mike, are there some news about the pipe truck or are you still waiting for it?
I saw this offer, too. Wasn't it in German Ebay?

Here is another auction with a leyland with red grill...
But that one is easy to classify wether it's a repaint or not :D

Never mind Mike, sometimes it pays to have a gamble. But you've got some nice models to look forward to.

The only real clue I noticed (from the photos available) was broken off front bumper ends that perfectly matched the rest of the bumper & grille. Asking the seller for that critical base photo would have shown the reality of the truck's condition. Never be afraid to ask seller's for additional photos.

In retrospect, you have a nearly worthless lot of models (excluding some spare parts like tires & tracks). Two or three models are good for restoration, but I know Mike has no interest in that. I hope the lot was not exensive and wishing Mike good hunting in the future.
It might be time to start my "Bucket List."

Oh Mike, I'am sorry for you.
But as Tinman mentioned, think positive: you have rubber tracks and some tires! And the Boat Trailer seems okay, too, except for the missing boat :D
I hope the postage wasn't expensive! The lot wasn't that expensive, if I remember correctly.
Drink a beer and laugh about it!

Happy collecting,

Mike will just shrug this one off and start thinking of his next lot of models, won't you Mike, coming from Austria I know how tuff they are over there, so this means nothing to a tuff guy like Mike... :lol:
