Hello Peter, that is a very nice collection based around one particular type of vehicle, a brilliant idea. When speaking to collectors and they say they have a "Matchbox" model collection, you immediately think of a collection consisting of each model in the range with maybe the odd variation they have discovered, not a whole collection like yours.
In my case I don't consider myself as a "Matchbox" collector, because I collect Rolls-Royce I say I have a collection of Rolls-Royce models that includes "Matchbox" models and by the same token, do you collect other scaled versions of the Leyland-AEC cab based models like the 'King-Size' and plastic toy versions from Hong Kong.
Nice to see a collection on display, thanks for showing it here.

Thank you, Jazz!
We have some misunderstanding. If you catch a better red/white one, I have place for the worst. And of course, if you see a nicer BURMAH labelled...
Cheers, Peter

Hi Ghosty,
About ten years ago I finished collecting 1:18, 1:24 scaled models, now I am collecting 1:43 and Matchbox RW and early Superfasts, but my favourites are these trucks and the RW05A/B/C/D series.
I took some pictures, I will upload them to the "Show us your toy room" topic soon.
Cheers, Peter

Hi Peter if I get better ones you be the first one I ask
Burmah label are very rare in my opinion and a mint one would make me careful. It is easy to fake, but mine is made in the 70´s and therefor a much bigger chance of being original. I am pretty sure mine is 100% original lesney made. The red/white one with grey base and BP is the only one we have seen here, but if there is one there would be more, plain logic
so go look
