The bi-monthly NAMAC swap meet (near Utrecht, Holland) was organized today.
The final one of 2015 always a busy mad house.
I went there with a couple of friends of mine and we had a happy time.
A rather large catch this time for me, as I had closed an extensive package deal with some seller.
The 11 (not so special) Lledo cars, which were part of the very attractive deal, not displayed, they are for re-sale.

Here the ones I bought, a lot of cars to restore.
Particularly happy with the 53a Aston Martin, the gold plated Phantom III (flying lady to be added) and the Rextoys Phantom IV, which will be converted into one of the similar cars of the Emir of Kuwait :

Are the white and blue Rolls at the front Metosul models?

Yes they both are Metosul Silver Ghosts.

I presume the #41 Jaguar D type with remnants of red paint is a repaint?

I would say it is Al as there's green on the inside by the driver

Indeed Motorman, it is a (horrible) repaint. I have stripped off the red junk in the mean time and will give a it complete new coat of paint.

I have a question, the green/yellow Guy car transporter is one I haven't seen in the flesh until I bought it yesterday (for a mere 5 Euros).
I saw it on this site in the King Size department but could not find any provenance.
Is it much rarer than the yellow/yellow or green/orange ones??

Also, the Caddy is missing its left rear wheel, but there is no trace of the base plate being detached ever or any other kind of real damage.
Could be broken off, but the axle it as straight as an arrow and the other 3 wheels are in excellent order.
It puzzles me a bit.

Then there is this champagne Rolls Royce 44B, a color variation never seen before (I do have 33 x 44B in my collection).
But my happiness was short lived, I found out that it is a re-spray, though very well done.

As far as I am aware the green /yellow transporter is quite htf and is a cross over from gree/orange to all yellow, but knowing me that's all wrong

You're correct, although there are a surprisingly large number of these crossover transporters around once you start looking out for them.

They are relatively straight forward to find, the one to look out for is the all-turquoise.

...but that is a borderllne pre-production Major Pack rather than a king Size colour scheme crossover.
