Picked up this job lot on E-Bay. Mr Flack excluded.

Very nice Bugatti Bob, well done on that one.

I do hope the Bugatti is genuine.

The Y15 Silver Ghost needs a closer look as well.

The Y13 looks to have no trim/decal as well which looks interesting and the Y8 Cowley.
Cannot wait to see some pictures.

There are a few interesting models in the lot besides the obvious one.





All a bit rough round the edges.

The Rolls looks ordinary and has broken fender struts one side. My electron microscope is out of action at the moment so can't see any differences Kevin might see.

The Y15 Silver Ghost looks very silver in that first picture and was hoping it was one of the colour trial models. Can now also see the Bentley does have the green grille surround, great find!

Brilliant find! Well done!
So many models without trim/decals - could there be a factory connection here?

I asked the seller about this. Here's his reply.

"They were actually found in a cupboard and were no use to anyone. I left them as found so didn't know what bits were exactly meant to go with which model. So I'm not sure why they are as they are."

The main reason for the purchase was clearly the Bugatti.







The others were a bonus.

That is good news on the Bugatti and what amazing condition it appears to be in and now one of the most valuable models in your collection.

Another interesting model from this lot is the Y11 Roller.





A darker green than production models, and appears to be correctly factory assembled. The darker red rolls do appear on production models.
