As well as offering Gibbo bonus points for any he sold or serviced, perhaps I should offer Peter N bonus points for any he put a diesel engine in :lol:

I'll have a little faf but its probably best if you post up the full answer list at some point this evening. In the course of my shenanigans I did come across some actual pics which it may be nice to see alongside the black and white low resolutions just to finish off the task. So when you do post the definitve list maybe we can collaboratively grab some current colour images if possible of the models in question.
