Also in this case is a Rare Turquoise Mercedes Coach #69 with box in row 7.

Look at other case row one and you will see many more A series models from the 50s with metal wheels. In this case there are prime condition examples and variants to include Blue Bedford #17 removals van on third row, two B series coke Lorries on row 4, three nice campers on row 6, rare Red #56 1500 Fiat on row 7, and nice Blue Pickford Van on bottom row.

The rarer vehicles in these photos are the purple Pontiac Convertible # 39 and #13 Thames Wreck truck with both open and closed jib lattice variations. Last photos show rest of collection.
