I've been spending some time photographing some of my old models, including these two 1/24 models by 'WILLS FINECAST' in England.. In their day (late '60s and into the '70s) Wills Finecast made a few really exquisitely molded, relatively detailed model car kits in heavy white metal, and to the best of my recollection, I built both of these in the '70s when the 'Finecast' kits were available in the local hobby shops. My paint of choice at that time was lacquer over rattle can primer.
The sportscar is a Lotus super Seven, and the antique phaeton is a 1920 Vauxhall 30/98 E (somewhat esoteric designation). They were both built absolutely box-stock, and have, fortunately, spent the last 45 plus years in display cases, so they have stayed in reasonable condition. The epoxy headlight lenses have, of course, yellowed over time but I can roll with that.
