Another is a Morris Minor 1000 van in yellow Automobile Association (AA) livery, with PATROL AA SERVICE markings on the side, attributed to Lledo or Corgi.

The lot also contains a vintage lithographed tinplate toy garage. The exterior features Auto MATIC GARAGE and PRESS TO OPEN lettering on the facade. It incorporates a mechanical press to open door function.

Hornby box: approx. 20 cm width
Tinplate garage: approx. 13 cm width
AA Patrol van: approx. 9 cm length.
