A lot depends on what you paid for the, what you're after, and what the baseplates look like. However, taking a stab, how about a 65b Jaguar with clear windows?

Sadly the Jaguar has tinted windows, but lets say it was a bonus, because I didn't have a metalliic Jaguar before.
Okay the first auction picture does not give a lot of hints, here is the second one, where I began to muse:
And I think it's more than just gem (at least for me).

Good point. The wheels are grey instead of silver but that's one of in total three gems I was looking for.
But SPW is the right direction, here is the next auction picture!

Hi Linus, SPW on the BEA Coach and the ERF Cement Mixer are nice :)

Ya, after the second photo I was going for the ERF Cement truck with SPW and the Lomas ambulance with GPW. The cement truck's a little rough but that's a tough one to find.

Thanks for your comments!
I had a spare barrel and after some cleaning and removing Plasticine it doesn't look that bad now.

It was a good catch. The lot cost me 50€, which is less than 1,50€ per model.

(Wheels look a bit grey on that picture)

That's a splendid trio for sure! Yes, the cement truck looks much more presentable now too. Congratulations on spotting those gems and thanks for sharing them. :)
