A few more recent ones
0 Ford Fairlane Police car with Fire Chief base
1 Scammell Snow Plough with one open and one closed step - a bit corroded but can be harder to find
2 Scammell Snow Plough with open steps and base with hole
3 Cadillac Ambulance with early flat floor base
4 GMC refridgerator Truck with no rear bumper
5 Ford Pickup without letter (A) on base
6 Major Pack Davies tyres with FGPW - one door is off but at least it is still included
Enjoy!

A few more - just a couple of gap fillers but in good condition and a Unimog with the axle posts front and back

You have been busy (and lucky!) in finding those hard to find variations and apart from the corroded snow plough, all in great displayable condition, thanks for bringing them to the forum.

A few recent ones
1 Bedford major pack - restored to GPW - normally I never buy restored but I think this is a lot better than what I could ever do!
2 Austin Cambridge - error model with front GPW and rear SPW and light green windows
3 Budgie AA land Rover - I think this is the earlier version as it has black metal hubs with crimped axle ends - rear upper door is missing but can be a harder model to find
Happy Collecting
Sebastian

I have been trying to restrict my buying to the better condition models - here are a few new ones - the first 2 are a couple of gap fillers and the other 3 were in the same job lot
1 Lincoln Continental
2 Land Rover Fire Engine
3 Mercedes Truck with zig zag base and long tow guides
4 Dodge Crane Truck with painted rivet/inside of crane and thinner wheels
5 Mercedes Truck with thin step and no rear mudguard braces
Happy Collecting
Sebastian

Very nice models and for me the mint green Lincoln is the star of the haul, fabulous.

Yes some stunning models, I am getting hooked on these minty ones. Its a very slippery slope and expensive.

The early casting Mercedes truck without the brace is a brilliant find - especially in that condition. I don't know whether the zigzag base is really rare or just overlooked. I have two, with the short and long tow guide (not nearly as nice as yours, though). I think the Dodge crane with thin wheels is hard to find too.

A belated thanks for the comments and observations - I have another batch of good condition models to post - hopefully sometime next week
In the meantime I have broken my own guidelines and got another beaters/spares/repairs job lot
They are all in pretty awful condition but can you guess the model of interest from the photo?
