    It is quite possible that if someone wants / needs these parts for a classic car, they'll know the codes etc and search for that code.
    They aren't old-stock classic car bits. They're recently-produced modern stuff.

    Apart from anything else, there's an ABS ring on that driveshaft - and for the clutch kit to include a slave, I suspect it's a concentric.

    There is a "Mutliparts" automotive parts supplier on the web - multipartseurope.com - but the part numbers don't hook up.

    A little more digging suggests that the Multipart in question used to be the suppliers to LDV vans (remember them?), and seem to have left the aftermarket car parts industry now -  https://multipart.msys-epc.com/ - even though their parent is one of India's largest car-parts suppliers - https://www.tvsscs.com/automotive/

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multipart_Solutions

    None of the part numbers come up with anything on a quick google...

    Unless you can identify what they're actually for, I think you're going to be struggling to shift them.

    I seem to remember Multipart was a spin off from Leyland Trucks. The management bought the parts buiness out after they went bust and they were based in an old mill in Chorley, Grime Street/Pilling Lane area.

    They even sponsored Burnley FC's shirts back in the day, and yes they did supply LDV onwers with parts after they went t*ts up.

    Lex bought them out in the mid 90's (LEX Multipart) and the RAC/Aviva had a stake in them a couple of years later until they ended up TVS Supply Chain Solutions.

    I think the Chorley site under Lex Multipart closed in the mid or late 00's and the factory had a fire sale, maybe that's where these parts came from. Was your Dad local to Chorley?

    The logo on the box and the part numbers suggests these parts are pre TVS involvement, more likely Lex Multipart parts.

    Sorry can't help you with what they are all off, but I'd guess late 90's early 00's van's.
