Moko roller with flywheel.Very well spotted!
FYI: the last one of these on Ebay went for
£42 which, given their rarity, was probably on the cheap side.

YOU ARE CORRECT!!

Roller with the flywheel is the gem for me,

the £42 on ebay was i would say cheap but in a fairly rough condition but still rare ,mine cost £140 hammer price,but whats not clear is in the plastic box marked pump set is a set of restored dinky pumps and in the cardboard box to the right are 3 john day white metal lorry kits so plenty of things to re sell so i am well please with this lot.

The tinplate remote control base at the back in picture 1 are the remains of the early issue Marx Motorway patrol Ford Zephyr.
The rare VW Beetles in picture 3, look like they could be by Prameta.
The big tinplate coupe in picture 4, seems to have 'CV' on it's index plate...Chad Valley!

The Corgi Bentley 'Continental' in picture 4, is a nice example esspecially if the underside of the bonnet is smooth (no criss-cross pattern).

Dull paint work is quite common on the #8 especially the red-orange colour variation, regardless that it is still a great looking Mustang and would display very well.
