Bus is a great model and one I have been looking for since I saw one on Micks Site, a superb find.
Silver and Gold models mentioned on Christians site.

Rolls on blue tray Dave - how much.
The silver and gold models are very hard to find , especially the gold version. The gold I would class as extremely rare and both these came as individual models in boxes same as the normal red versions - why I don't know but presume they were for selling as London souvenirs. The silver plated I have seen as both normal plated and same as the one you show which appears to be plated over the normal red version. The silver will rub off this model especially on the roof area which gets polished or more fingering on it and the red eventually shows through.
Some nice models in that lot so another good find.
