I think it's a VW bug, but not sure. Nothing inside, just a shell body. No mfg marks of any kind.

VW Beetle/Bug for sure. Looks like Lesney/Matchbox to me but I don't have time at the moment to look for a link.

Appears to be a 1960's die cast beetle. In order to tell you more need to see underside.

Good deal. Look a lot like the one in the center and the one at the right.

I've been searching "Lesney" online and see many that are close, but not exact.
