Re: Recent finds
The Jaguar is a repaint so well spotted Jason. Unfortunately the 26b has fine BPW and not SPW.
However neither of these and the other answers match the slightly harder to find models that I was pleased to receive in this job lot
Anyone care to guess again?
You may need to magnify the photo to help find one of them.

Does the Radio Rentals van have grey wheels?
One of the Commer milk floats looks very pale - a repaint? The top of the Pickfords removals van also looks a strange colour or is that just the light?

Re: Recent finds
Hello Sebastian,
Could it be the 1e Mercedes Truck earliest casting without the rear fender braces ?

Hi all
Thanks for all the interest shown but none of the guesses are correct
However I think Dr. Jeep has come the closest
The slightly harder to find models (in my humble opinion are)
1 Top left of the photo is an Opel Diplomat peeping its nose in - it has the grey engine - a pleasant surprise as none of the seller photos showed this
2 The Ford Refuse truck has the clear plastic insert with the thin casting line on the chassis and the rarer very thin plastic brace
3 The Milk float behind the Refuse Truck has the reversed crates and is the later model with rivets so I don't think there has been any tampering with the base
I think the Cortina is the NIck Jones code 1 but I am not sure whether this is harder or easier to find
The green gunge on the Milk float has been removed with just water and cotton buds and a small toothbrush and looks a bit better now
Original photos of the Opel and Commer below
Thanks again for all the interest shown

Re: Recent finds
Picked this job lot up a few weeks ago - as most of the models are in quite good condition I think it was a bit of a bargain at £11
I bought it to get one of the models that can be slightly harder to find though a couple of the others were a nice bonus
Can you guess which model can be slightly harder to obtain ?

Re: Recent finds
I'm going to guess it's the Hatra. Does it have the square differential?

Re: Recent finds
There's another one of those horse box models with a tan chassis. Two in the last two pages of posts and this is a hard model to find!
