Thank's Dave for the additional pictures and those 'Yesteryears' look great! just the right amount of weathering and I hope you can sell them to a model Railway enthusiast as that's where they would be at Home.

All the YY's have had their wheels painted, so guess they've come off a diorama or railway layout already.

Its gone a little quiet again so time for some more pics out the box,the following models are pretty rare and i am hoping ghosty or someone can throw some info on the escort mk1 and lotus,its the same car has the corgi rocket mirror rally car so i think around 1970 ,i did think cereal premium but drew a blank,the vespas are rough and made by mercury ,italy,the battery is an AA and is in for scale.

That's a nice box of goodies, the fun with these is sometimes the things you can't see until you take delivery. Those humble ramps are a very nice find.

Hi Dave, sorry I'm late with this. The little red Lotus Ford Grand Prix car and the Mk1 Ford Escort look like the breakfast cereal kits from Mexico. These were presented on sprues like the 'R & L' Kits marketed by Petrol companies in the UK.

They were available during the 1970's, so appear to have been made pretty close to when the original models (the Corgi Rockets Ford Escort), were being made. The Grand Prix car is one of 20 from that range, the Ford I am not sure, but other sports car subjects were also made.

Like i just posted ,i could see one scooter in the photo,i have late last year picked up a moko version of a lambereta and recently i got a rider for another,i did think one of the scooters could be a moko but after looking carefully i realised it wouldn,t be but still wanted to see who made them
