Trophy buses with some new figures. Martin

I think they are from HM of GB's hunt set. Martin

They were based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. A part time business as the owner was actually a lecturer at Sheffield University. If memory serves me when he retired they closed up and moved to Spain. I made some stuff for them at about the same time as I was making the H.M of Great Britain...
