A taster picture, with more to follow in daylight. Hugh and John saw the cars at the front when we all met and then Hugh saw me get a couple of the others (the 19c was a great find, and I needed Hugh to point out that the £1 Super Atlantic trailer is in a harder-to find colour - thanks, Hugh!). The Euclid will be heading to Australia as it's the final casting with over-riders. The back row are from my final foray. The GT40 has red wheels and the Mustang is a Superfast.

Here are some better pictures of some of these. Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to see.

First, the SF white Mustang.

Not perfect, but it was just £2.

The red-wheeled GT40 is also far from perfect, but I didn't have one so it fills a gap.

The 19c with racing number 52 was a good find, I think. It's a much paler blue-green than my 19c with number 5.

The 57a Wolseley has gold trim, but seems to be an unlisted variation as it has rounded, not crimped, axles, meaning it's from some time towards the end of production.

I'm also pleased with the Benbros Daimler ambulance and Scout car, and the red Jaguar XK140.

Does the 14c Lomas Ambulance with roof decal guides have grey or silver wheels? Nice little haul.

Thanks, Jay. It has silver wheels - this seems to be the most common version with decal guides. The base is the later type with the round reinforcement on the brace, suggesting that the bright white painted body sat in the store for a while before the model was completed. This one even has one of its doors, which is an improvement on my other two silver-wheeled versions (and means that these two are available for swaps, if anyone is interested). I also have the grey-wheeled roof-cross casting and two of the much scarcer version with black wheels, though none with the red cross (yet!).

Nice lot Glenn.

That's a nice group Glenn, it's always good to see finds that come from somewhere other than ebay.
