Stoked to pick up this lot. The seller made some classic mistakes in the listing Title was "Match Box Vintage PHOTOS UPDATED" and it was listed in the Vintage Toys category.
Buy Now with buyer must pick up as the only shipping option and the seller lived in a tiny settlement at least an hour from the closest major town and at least 4 hours from a major city which might have a collector community.
On top of which the main photo from the auction shown first below looks like the windscreen on the Merc has been melted.
But in reality its just the light, as another later shot shows.
Plus there isn't a single photo of the whole lot and the photos aren't linear so you have to try and piece together the overlaps.
They'll take a while to arrive but when they do close ups will be forthcoming.
Cheers
Dave

Nice collection you will have to let the members know there are any hard to find models . Pete.
Re: 52 Mint boxed Superfast in one lot
Thanks for the comments guys, finally got around to photographing this lot. All are in really good condition, looking like they have not been touched since bought 40 years ago. Boxes are crisp and uncreased. Horses and cattle are still on their sprues. A couple of factory paint flaws and the Mercedes does indeed have a deformed windscreen. Being mainly a Dinky collector, I think they're all standard issues, but happy to be enlightened if I've missed anything.
Cheers

Hi Great collection, I bet you are very pleased I have only brought a few big collections Pete.
Re: 52 Mint boxed Superfast in one lot
Great to get all these in one go. All pretty common variations but nice condition overall.
