...and a nice badly painted 44b Phantom V for your John Lennon Rolls.

In hindsight I should have shelled out the extra 50p for a better one.
Turns out mine has a cracked rear screen.

That's OK, the rear windows on John's car are all blacked out, so you can just cover the rear and side windows with Black tape.

A nice play worn collection Diecastmolester the question now is are you going to restore some or all of these models. :)

The Hatra, Ford Pick Up, one of the Jeeps (the other one is brush painted and was bought merely for its tyres and straight windscreen surround),
the Commer bottle float and the Canteen won't be rstored, since they are way too good. The Pickfords Scammell will merely be touched up a bit.
All others were bought for restoration/code3ing, except the Gladiator, which I'd say is beyond redemption.

Looks like you’ve had a grand day out!
A nice mix of keepers and restoration projects.
Nice to see the green interior Gladiator. I hope you don’t toss it out, despite finding it ‘beyond redemption’.
Enjoy!
Kurt
Happy hunting!

I'll buy a restorable one and swap interiors.

Some nice clean examples in there. Can we have a look at the underside of the nice Blue Models of Yesteryear Thomas Flyer.
