Jason you are too kind and I've told you this before, but still you manage to give me a bag of Rolls-Royce models!!

Its always a pleasure to meet you and next time, you will take up my offer of taking my place in the queue to get into the toy fair, as I told you, I do not have to pay to get in, one of the benefits of being a club member 8-)

I went back after lunch and got those Two 'Yesteryear' Riley models, the one with the Black seat and the one in Two-tone Red, so they are now in safe hands... :D

That Unimog looks fabulous sitting on it's box, that was a nice catch. I did not get any 'HTF' Rolls-Royce models but I did find a #40 Royal Tiger Coach with Grey plastic wheels for £4... :o

Pictures will be elsewhere.

Some new additions into the yesteryear collection, found over the last few months.One for Ghosty :D
The Woody I really like with the yellow base, Simplex is the brighter red and gold bit chipped, Packard in all red is nice on display .The Rolls needed some extra metal parts which I found on a donor model, very nice with the red plastic seats .

Hi Jason, great little collection in your picture. The 'Woody' looks great in that colour scheme, I would have brought that myself. The Simplex is easily missed when looking at these on their own, nice to see a few together in the same box and then notice the shade difference. The Y-15 Packard in all Red, what a treasure, another model I would certainly buy and then we come to the Rolls, the classic powder Blue example, and as we spoke about this at Windsor, a rare 'Pre-Pro' and I think I'm right in saying the most seen colour for this early model as I have seen a handful of these now, helping to confirm the dozen or so examples made in this colour, thank's for showing it.

Some recent MB9 Fiat Abarth models added over the last few months, Prepro model on the left is great with no date to the base and other dfferences. The interior is also interesting as it is shorter on the prepro version, black interior I was very pleased with and in very good condition. J

Very nice indeed Jason. I like the look of this model and the black interior looks great. Spotting that pre-pro is great detective work :)

Great find on the pre-pro Jason, here is the one on Christians site taken from the 1982 catalogue which looks identical to yours.
