An extensive assortment of approximately 70 to 80 vintage loose toy vehicles, primarily constructed from die-cast metal with some plastic components. The collection contains a significant number of Matchbox series models by Lesney, with several pieces displaying legible manufacturer marks on their bases including a Matchbox Series No. 19 Lotus Europa dated 1969, a Jaguar 3.4 Litre No. 65, and a Ford GT Matchbox Series No. 7. The lot features a diverse range of subjects, such as a blue and yellow truck with Universal branding, a Michelin-liveried racing car, a Politie liveried police car, and various U.S. Army military vehicles including tanks and a jeep.

Most vehicles feature simple free-rolling wheel mechanisms, with some Matchbox models likely representing the Superfast era with spring suspension.
