Nice find Reg, These are very hard to find but the dome light looks too big to me, How are the base rivets?.

Hi Reg, I saw this lot recently and I thought the dome looked too big and rounded, the ones I've seen are generally flatter on top. I wasn't bothered about the fresh looking red cross on the Daimler, but together I thought they may have been a little group of models that came from someone who liked to tinker with them. I hope not, so fingers crossed for you mate.

The dome light also looks to new to me. A model with that much body wear and tear should have a scratched up dome light particularly if it protrudes out that far!
