Are you suggesting a #29 Racing Mini with cast door hinges Hugh, if so that would be quite a find in a nice lot.

No. I'm looking at the pale blue car with the tan interior which I can't place......

Could it be the last tray bottom left SF Foden with bumper tounge and above it SF Reefer Truck.

...only if it has the 'Long Seat' moulding!!

No I get you, longseat Ghosty?

I agree about the yellow enanamel Lamborghini.
Does the Cattle truck have blue stakes?

The Alvis with smooth load bed

Guys

Sorry I haven't replied sooner - I was a little surprised at the interest shown and the number of replies received.

The models of note to me include

1 Yellow superfast Lamborghini in yellow - well spotted by JohnBoy Matchbox Freak and Dr. Jeep

2 Long stack Ford tractor in blue/yellow with thick tow hook - well spotted by JohnBoy and Dr. Jeep

3 Dodge cattle truck with blue stakes with later chassis - well spotted by Matchbox Freak

4 Alvis Stalwart with green wheels and smooth loadbed - well spotted by Ergomatic

5 Yellow Ergomatic 8 wheeler with orange Douglas Labels

6 Daf tipper with turquoise Cab/chassis

7 Bedford TK tipper with Fine BPW and small no. 3

8 Mack Truck NJ code 2 with no A cast on rear of chassis (fairly common but in great condition)

9 Mercedes truck green with thin step

10 Ford refuse truck - closed toe but with clear plastic insert and casting line below the insert - I only have this casting line on my open toe example - all the other refuse trucks I have don't have this feature.

Sadly the green Faun crane is standard and the Ford Heavy Wreck Truck has the smooth floor. The model that Idris made reference to is the Rolls Royce Siver Shadow Coupe - not sure what a long seat version is perhaps Ghosty can explain?

The racing mini is standard . The Ford pickup is standard regular wheel as is the Foden Cement Truck and the Refrigerator Truck

The Gem is none of the above - its a harder version to find of what is a very common model

Happy collecting

At risk of just listing everything, I’ll try:

- Unimog with the open base
- 35c Merryweather with half a wide sill (it’s not the one without a sill because the ladder guides are too wide)
- combine harvester without the hole in the base

Here is the thread featuring details (and other interesting snippets!) for the 'Long Seat' moulding found in the #69 Rolls-Royce Drop Top.

First of all apologies on the Ford Wreck Truck - it has the textured floor not the smooth one as previously stated.

Ghosty - Thanks for the information on the Rolls Royce - I will look at this tomorrow

Congratulations Dr. Jeep - your third pick is correct!

I found this lot by chance and am well pleased with it all
