I am thinking of purchasing a new iMac in next couple of weeks to replace my Mid-2011 iMac which obviously is obsolete/non-Update-able.
My old iMac has 2 x 2gb RAM & 2 x 4gb RAM of 1333 MHz PC3-10600 DDR3
QUESTION: Would I be able to add the 2 x 4gb RAM from my old iMac to the new iMac so as to save a few quid?

No, all Macs made after the 2020 27" do NOT have user upgradeable RAM. When selecting a new Mac please take the time to purchase a Mac with the correct amount of RAM at purchase. If you decide on a new 24" iMac as of today (10/28/2024) all new 24" iMacs come with a minimum of 16 GB of RAM, where as the 2021-2023 iMacs only had only 8 GB.

There is no possibility to add RAM to newer model Macs. It can never have more RAM than it had at the time of manufacture.
Many thanks for your speedy response and assistance
Your welcome and enjoy your new Mac.
