Don't usually get to post here but this was a mixed collection that I won recently on or local auction site for about GBP50.
Some damaged and repaints but very pleased with a few.

Green 43a and what looks as though it could be a metallic green 23b (which is very, very difficult to find in any condition).
Re: Spot the Gem(s)
Definitely the 43a looks excellent, the whole lot is a great find at 50GBP. Congrats and thanks for showing.

You were lucky, both the green Hilmann and the 23b is great!

A mixed bag of Charbens, Morestones and Lesney plus a few repaints.
Unfortunately no 23B (that was a repaint).
There was a first casting Ford Prefect An unlisted 14B Ambulance The best was the 43A Hillman Sadly they were all delivered in a large box with a sheet of bubble wrap just folded over them so there were a few dings but nothing too serious.
The repaints I'm hoping to clean up as the paintwork looks to be in good condition underneathUnfortunately no 23B (that was a repaint).

A very nice lot for the money Rodger - I too spotted the green Hillman while it was running, pleased it went to a good home. What I like about these lots are the inevitable hidden gems like the 14b - you can never spot those from the photo, but always a nice little bonus surprise.
