My best find came in during the last Houten toy show at the end of November:
I finally found a No. 46b Foden Pickfords Removal Van with the latest casting (rear bumper added)
and it fits perfect to the latest type of box that I already had bought from my friend Bill Burgess ("durangokid") two years ago!
My second choice is my 1:25 scale Politoys Fiat 595 Abarth in metallic dark blue from the mid 70s, that I received in factory fresh packaging
the little strange silver piece is a tiny screw driver to remove the model from the plastic platform!
It also ncludes some paperworks added to the toy car by Politoys: a desription of the toy car, the history and technical details of the real car, and a little picture (probably made for a Politoys collectors scrapbook):
This model fits to my real car, a (modern) Abarth 595 in dark blue!
Merry Christmas to everybody!

Part 2 of mine, this very early shot of the Y10 Rolls Royce. No body detail, no windscreen detail and no bar cast on base behind radiator. Also lacks all copyright detail on the base.

By my reckoning, that's slightly more than the two models asked for.

Re: The Very Best of 2019
My maths is not good but I think I can see eight so yes, slightly more than the two asked for...
