Its definitely a world class collection,there can,t be many people who have two soap box racers,three flywheel rollers and 3 drummer boys :D
I also very much agree with idris,whats there is rare and top quality :shock:
Interestingly ,no orange and black wheel roller,green with driver roller and red caterpillar tractor,which i think indicates how rare they are for standard models :)
A soap box racer with no driver sold for £1300 recently,also one was on ebay with an asking price of £7500,it looks like it sold for a best offer,what the whole lot goes for will be interesting(i can,t find it :?: )

I can't find it either. Apparently on E-Bay, but doesn't show for me.

Have sent it to him, he knows who the seller is. Can someone post a link to the sale (if allowed by the mods).

Since the asking/hammer price is likely to be several squillion pounds, I have no objections.

I can't find it either. It may be the collection from Hans & Marco in Germany (Blue Gold Angel) ?
I know there is also a big collection of early Lesney in the USA but never saw pictures of that.
