Congratulations Sebastian!
What a great lot! So many special, quirky items that sought by Matchbox collectors: the yellow Lambo, the blue stake cattle truck and the hole-less Combine and the others you’ve listed.
Congratulations and enjoy!
Kurt

Thanks for the congratulations and your comments - I have to admit opening the case and checking the models was like Christmas day!
I went straight to the combine , turned it over and hey presto it was the real deal - it is the no protrusions model for the detail fans out there.
All the rest of the models were a great bonus
I have got another much smaller job lot with one harder to find model - if you want me to post it let me know
As usual Happy Collecting
Sebastian

Re: Recent finds
The combine is a particularly good find since it is a croosover model with the closed ladder.

I forgot about another couple of Job lots. Here are all three - 1 photo per job lot - I don't want to make it too easy!
Can you spot the harder to find model in each photo?
As usual happy collecting

Re: Recent finds
In the third picture, I’d like the regular wheel Mercedes ambulance to have the superfast round-arched body.

Is that a green glazed Superfast #3 Mercedes Ambulance in the second picture?

Good guesses - both correct - the regular wheel Mercedes Ambulance (4th from left in bottom photo ) has the larger wheel arches and the Superfast Mercedes Ambulance (top right of middle photo) has the green windows.
Any guesses for the top photo? (The hard to find one is the first and only one I have seen for sale but it is listed on the NJ web site and other forum members have them)
Happy collecting
