Yeh, it's alright for you young ones, just you wait until you get your 'Bus-Pass' and try reading the small-print on that and when you have, the bloody Bus has gone and left you standing there like a spare p**ck at a Wedding!!!

I think Johnboy is right, I would also say its a Zodiac and a Cresta.
Mike, are there some news about the pipe truck or are you still waiting for it?
I saw this offer, too. Wasn't it in German Ebay?
Here is another auction with a leyland with red grill...
But that one is easy to classify wether it's a repaint or not

Never mind Mike, sometimes it pays to have a gamble. But you've got some nice models to look forward to.

Thank you, Johnboy for the consolation.

The only real clue I noticed (from the photos available) was broken off front bumper ends that perfectly matched the rest of the bumper & grille. Asking the seller for that critical base photo would have shown the reality of the truck's condition. Never be afraid to ask seller's for additional photos.
In retrospect, you have a nearly worthless lot of models (excluding some spare parts like tires & tracks). Two or three models are good for restoration, but I know Mike has no interest in that. I hope the lot was not exensive and wishing Mike good hunting in the future.

Oh Mike, I'am sorry for you.
But as Tinman mentioned, think positive: you have rubber tracks and some tires! And the Boat Trailer seems okay, too, except for the missing boat
I hope the postage wasn't expensive! The lot wasn't that expensive, if I remember correctly.
Drink a beer and laugh about it!
Happy collecting,
Linus

Mike will just shrug this one off and start thinking of his next lot of models, won't you Mike, coming from Austria I know how tuff they are over there, so this means nothing to a tuff guy like Mike...
