Most of the top rarities are still on my wants list, but I would really love to find the following (sometimes probably overlooked) variations of quite common models:

1d Aveling Barford Road Roller without hole in the baseplate (has anybody ever even seen one, or is it a prepro casting??)
3b Bedford Tipper with grey baseplate (have seen one that was mixed into an auction lot - but the auction was long time over!)
30c 8-Wheel Crane without rear brace
65c Claas Combine without hole in the baseplate

MatchboxFreak wrote:My preferences tend toward the play worn but not play abused. So chips and scratches are ok. Mothers marks on the bottom are okay. I avoid models which were painted after they left the factory, models missing wheels or parts and crushed models. Missing tires okay if the hubs are complete. Exceptions made for scarce items I don’t have yet.

I'm much the same way, and I also consider missing or rotted tracks less than problematic.

Prior to posting this reply, I'd banged up a list of variations I'd like...and then closed the window. So, if anyone has scads of lightly to moderately worn models they'd sell, I'd be willing to purchase a little surprise package!
