I'll be very surprised if anyone guesses "What's in the box".

Knew you wouldn't guess what it was. I bought these at the Ipswich swap meet. I think the vendor wanted 20 pounds for them and I knocked him down to 15. He then proceeded to tell me that they were Benbros and no where near the value of Lesneys. He also told me they were very old and a bit tarnished. They were supposed to be silver!
I've always set myself a rule - never believe what a vendor tells you. Judge for yourself.
They always try and pull the wool over your eyes and flog you things for far more than they are worth!!!!

This is just a comparison photo to show silver vs gold. The coaches in the box are all the same colour as the coach on the right.
The coach on the left is actually the one that goes with the headless rider shown in the oops section.
Right, now I have a business proposition for someone. Dose anyone have 12 sets of horses with no coaches?
May be we can do a deal so we end up with six complete sets each!
