Very nice models and looking to be in very good condition, the Vauxhall Cresta is the one for me. What makes these the variations you were after, any details you want to highlight for the benefit of other members.

Congratulations Bill, they're great buys and with very nice boxes. Are they gpw or spw on the 31 and 55?

Thanks guys they are the 31b yellow spw clear windows red base which i have been trying to find a replacement for the one I sold 10 years ago. One of my favorite castings in general. 55b with SPW a variation i have wanted since I starting collecting. 22b bronze/turq gpw just like the way this color combo looks. 6b code 1 with crimped axels. Lastly the uneven load 37a Coke truck is another on my general wants list. I have never been too crazy about more specific variations such as wheel sizes and stuff but occasionally I will pick up a variation of castings I feel are my favorite. For example still looking for oily blue bases on 57b 74a and 75a.

Happy collecting

Bill
