First photo: I see a "Jaffa Mobile" in the lower right corner. Maybe a gold Safari Land Rover with Regular Wheels, too?

The jaffa is a gem but not the one i would pick from this photo ,the landy is sf
dave

If it's not the Jaffa Mobile, I have no idea what the gem is. But assuming the Curtiss-Wright dumper is complete, that's one I'd like to have! I'm also curious as to what the yellow dumper in the third photo is.

hi,squid
the dinkum is just the rear part,and the other one is a standard dinky dumper truck

To me, the Dinky dumper is a gem...I'd like to have one to go along with my K2A!

In the first picture I think I see an upside down 31b Ford Fairlane with a black base and black plastic wheels. If I'm right that's a great find!

I do like dumpers,they can make a nice collection on their own,the ones i look for are the condon versions,especially the trench bucket or crane version,other makes are charbens they did a nice big one and britains did a small more realistic one,then the the regular wheel lesney ones and their copies ,i think dinky only did this yellow version,its a bit bigger than the k2a you mentioned.
The light green /red one is one of my first repaints,really to get a "lesney look a like" i would have been better to swop a red dump with a green one

You are correct the condition wasn,t great but its real,and not an easy spot the gem ,the second photo is a lot easier.

Well, in the first box I see a Bentley. In the second box I see Three Rolls-Royce models and in the last picture I see...at least Nine Rolls-Royce models, possibly a Tenth in Silver-Grey hiding near the Child on a bike.

The gem in that lot could be the Black Silver Shadow saloon by Clifford-Petrel-Dayfran.
