At a quick glance they are all pretty much standard SF and pretty beaten up. Nothing of any real value IMHO :D

Yeah figured that's probably the case. about 3 or 4 of those are NM but these are more sentimental for me. Still, always nice to find the odd quirk in amongst them. :)

Having had a second look can you tell me if the wheel size on the pinky/orange Marzal #20 are wide or narrow wheels. It looks as though that model you have shown has the rear wide wheel arch and if it has narrow wheels is certainly rarer. :D

Unfortunately not. The red marzal has the thin wheels, the orange/pink one is the has the fatter wheels.

Thanks for checking that, it would have been a rarity had it had the thin wheels/wide wheels arch combo!
