That Philips mixer was their first one. It was launched in 1959. This one is in a different box than my grandmother's. That box was higher and narrower, the mixer stood right up in the box. I've never seen the spatula before, I don't think my grandmother's came with that. She was very particular about her stuff, so she would have had it in her kitchen drawer (or in the box where she always kept the mixer in).
I have a question about your/that Neff oven. Is that already a convection oven?

Is that top loader a Hoover? There seems to be something round and red at the top left that might be a Hoover roundel. I guess it might make it an Australian import would it?

I have one of those mixers myself, I will have to look at the box it is in. The spatula may just be a lucky find which happens to fit the box.
My Neff oven is fan only in the main oven with a static oven/grill below. I know from previous researches that earlier versions had a static oven in the main chamber. I believe the earlier verson had four knobs, this comes from enquiring about one on ebay before I bought the one I now have. I went to work for a kitchen company in late 1984 and this range had not long been replaced at that time. I bought one of the last 1057 models (with push in controls) and although the main oven was similar the lower oven on the 1057 had a top element additional to the grill and element in oven floor, my 1056 does not have this

Well spotted, I think you may be correct. From what I have seen of these washers I thought it might be Hoover, but of course I am no expert. I am always amazed by how many of these Australian top loaders crop up here as I dont believe there were ever marketed by the companies here so they must be oersonal imports. I would like one sometime but no time to do the trip this weekend

This I think would be slightly older than the one just finished. Looks in good condition although Great Yarmouth is not the most convenient place to get to
That Australian top loader is indeed a Hoover. Very good machines, certainly gave the clothes a good wash. The two smaller dials are not original as has been said but the timer dial is original. These ones seemed to be the last models with the 'older' style of Hoover drum and agitator and agitation. Soon after this they began to be manufactured by Electrolux who also manufactured Simpson top loaders and the two basically became clones of each other just with different 'clothes' on.
Heres a vid that Josh filmed of his, same machine just with an added Drip Dry function dial...
