Extreme right is a Gamda Koor Chevrolet Chevelle in white resting on its roof and a Chevrolet Impala TAXI near it.

The grey and red van (bottom left) and the green red Ute (left half way up) interest me. No idea what they are though. Plenty of Dinky’s In the lot though...
Looking forward to seeing the gems!

The upside down Road Roller towards top right, not sure about wheel colour though. Look forward to clearer pics.

Are there two Condon dumpers with missing drivers? A few Budgies in here too - Leyland Hippo cattle truck, bulk milk tanker, and the 3-wheel Scammell tractor from the British Railways delivery van. Is the red van with grey wings a Triang Minic A40?

Condon dumper and the gold painted roller Dave.
Re: spot the gems (subjective!)
Many years ago (early 80's) I went to a swapmeet at a place called Bergen Op Zoom (Holland) just for the hell of it really. I also had some continental free passes that needed using up.
There was nothing there of interest but to say I'd bought something, I bought a Schuco Sweeney Ford Consul GT and one of those Impala taxi's (bottom right corner of photo).
I forget the make now (something Eastern if I recall) but don't remember what happened to it. Maybe sold later on eBay. A strange model and I think only the boot opened.
The Schuco Consul GT I still have (pic attached with Oxford Diecast Sweeney Consul GT)

Re: spot the gems (subjective!)
The roller is what initially bought my attention to this lot,early lesney roller ,no driver should be green but its been painted in tan and wheels sprayed gold,there was also two condon dumpers ,a lesney tractor and trailer,and i can,t see them in the photo at all but they came anyway a ambulance and sf roller and lesney foden tipper with a badly bent axle with metal wheels ,it doesn,t look it but its in good nick apart from the axle.tractorboy wrote:The upside down Road Roller towards top right, not sure about wheel colour though.
