Picked these up from the post office today.
Preproduction Y5-4 Talbot.


Fairly unremarkable from this view.


But more interesting from the back.


Usual prepro base with incomplete date and no Y No.

Y26 Crossley with colour trial barrels


These turn up in various shades of red, with different shades on the barrel components on some occasions.

Hi Bob.
These are my new beer truck.
Cheers Mike

Hi Bob, must have missed this post, I have just got the white one with the same base. Also a standard base model but in silver with green wheels. J

I got one in dark green with no tampo, my sister brought it home when she worked for Lesney. I repainted it...

Did you paint it a nice bright colour Nick. J

Well, I just had a look for it and it seems that another one has gone 'walkies'. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....................

Have your silver one as well Jason but also one with the original label on. It was a trial for the 75th anniversary model that never made it like the coloured Sunbeams. The label is a silver foil sticky one.

Thanks Mick for the info, got 2 silver ones together with the white one. Both have no stckers though.

I saw that lot too late. 4 prepros for peanuts

Are these pre pro models purchased from Ebay, I'd like to get some for my collection.
