That's a nice interim Rolls base I haven't seen before Steve. I have a prepro with no bar across, just flat base at the rear so your one may have come after it and they raised the whole back section and then made it just a bar for cost cutting.
Don't worry, if I come to sort them out I'll leave you one or two and all those small size models :D :D

I notice that the yellow 41c Ford GT appears to be yellow over white. Is that normal?

Update: I see that this query has been raised as a separate thread.

One of the Rolls Ghosts is a Hong Kong copy. The other one just looks like a standard type 'E'' base?

Bob, I've heard that the Australian sun, beers, beaches and bikini clad women can really irritated your eye sight.
Apparently the poms really struggle with the sun light but add in the Yesteryears too and Mick hasn't got a hope in hell in distinguishing a Matchbox Yesteryear from a Hong Kong copy!!

Your right.

Cheers, Steve

Very nice and interesting bunch that ya have there, some of those will have to come out for some more pics.
Noticing the 39c Ford tractor in blue and orange, as well as the 62c cream colored Cougar
also an interesting shade difference between the two 64b MGs
As well as a few double labels, police and fire chief, for the whoops section.
