2 with the decal i should have said. :D
I thought you meant the two with the luggage :)

I've seen playworn examples go for good money, so a mint model might lead to a bit of a bidding frenzy.
Not sure what UK prices are for these - please share a ballpark figgure johnboy - I have only ever found 4 and seen about a dozen more in poor condition for silly money /£10-20 each).The best one in my photo above is the best one that I have seen in the metal, the 2 1960s corgi collectors I know who are both in their 70s sold off theirs before I met them.

It's years since I saw a nice one go at Vectis, I can't remember exactly but somewhere between £1.5 & £2k - A few have slipped my net on ebay, most recently I remember one for about £275 which was in good playworn condition. A bit pricey for me though, even at that level.
