I've been pretty busy with building my collection up the last few weeks, especially with superfast models as motorman will probably be more happy to see...nothing out of the ordinary but all nice condition examples and good prices paid for them...not one to pay loads on one particular model just because it's missing from my collection...anyway I had a little money saved for these and will probably be the last for a while as my pennies are needed for other things..
Thanks for looking... Lee

Well, if you can secure such lovely condition models for little outlay then you are onto a winning formula and those above are simply great. The #24 Rolls-Royce should be in a Japan specifc box (as below), but until you manage to get an empty box (most unlikely in my experience!), the one you have will serve it's purpose and help protect the model.
Great to see some SF models being added to your collection Lee, I especially like the #62 Mercury Cougar, a favourite of mine. Of course Ghosty is right regards the #24 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow which would be more at home in the black J-4 box. Great additions mate.
Thanks everyone for the kind comments, and I know you guys are correct about the Roller not being in the correct box and I new this when purchasing it...the thing is it's one of the only models I'm happy to have in the wrong box, really don't like the original box and I'm much happier to display this one as is.

I am very much a ‘wrong box is better than no box’ person, so I am cool about it

These Rollers were available unboxed on the swapmeet circuit in the 1980s. (I have one.)

I have seen them in the Tesco multipacks so any unboxed ones could have come from those packs.
