Great collection
The "various British" caught my eye more than the others, as I have some of those myself (Morris Minor, Leyland Sherpa, Austin A35, Corgi Mini).
Is your Raleigh Cycles Marina van perhaps made from one of the Bijou transkits?
Your Southdown Austin A35 van looks like it has escaped the zincpest that particular model is notorious for. I have yet to see one on eBay UK that doesn't at least have cracking of the cream paint on the roof, to the worst ones that are already starting to show metal separation.
But zincpest seldom affects the entire production of a model.

I was going to ask the same question Andrew
I take it that that is the Bijou Marina transkit. One day my boxed and unmade one will get made up.

And here's the underside with its information:

The owner/operator of our local toy store had these made several years ago. Yes, that's the name of his store, O.P. Taylor's. It's one of the busiest places in town, with a good stock but very few 1:43 scale items. This one was his last, and it's been a while since I bought it. Does it qualify by your high standards?

John, an interesting mix of the old with the new and those in between.

Yes, its a Bijou resin kit
Checked my A-35 van, thankfully no zink pest noted. Also made one of those into an estate with a bit of drilling and filing to create windows.

My random walk through the "museum" did not result in all being picked
I forgot the 1953 and 1946 Chevy and 1953 Pontiac sedan deliveries, the 1952 Morris LC5 van and the Land Rover 110 van, 1935 Ford sedan delivery, 1964 Anglia 105E, 1948 Morris Z van, 1950 Ford Popular van, 1935 Chevrolet AD panel truck and my favorite, a scratch built 1988 Grumman LLV (long life vehicle)

Corgi made the Morris J Van in BMC livery, but I haven't photographed it yet.
