Very nice MGs sportscars - good to get the white version with the driver still on board!
Can I ask is the cream one of these new driverless cars I keep hearing about?
The coach looks to be in great condition
Sorry I forgot to include a reply to your query in my previous postings - the coaches are both 21a with the green base - condition is good but the decals have all but gone. 
The only difference I can see is a slight difference in the shade of green - one is slightly darker than the other and the axles are fitted the opposite way around in terms of which side has the crimped ends

Looks like there are both versions of the bedford Duple Luxury Coach (21a and b).

A few new ones - thought I had better post these now as my computer seems to be on the way out! 
65 Brighter red Combine harvester with good box
44 GMC refridgerator truck with no rear bumper, thicker cab braces and good box
72 Jeep - possibly the earlier model as it has no post under bonnet, smaller tow hook and a reasonable box
65 Dull red Combine harvester in fair condition with harder to find open ladder
74 Daimler Bus with unpressed rivet above the rear engine
Happy Collecting

Nice finds. The combine with open step is always on my mind when searching toy fair tables.

The 72B is a model I'd like to own some day. Your example in its F box looks to be superb!

Thanks for the comments. I bought the Bright red Combine Harvester and the GMC refridgerator for their boxes aand bought the Jeep as the only other one I have is a beater with 2 missing tyres and faded paint. The Jeep is actually a little better looking now as the photo I posted was taken before I cleaned it!Squid wrote:The 72B is a model I'd like to own some day.
