This is the first Rolls Royce that I have ever owned. It was a tricky rebuild which took much longer than I thought. The end result looks stunning, however, I made a big mistake by painting the body and chassis in the wrong colours! - Never mind, it will still look good in my display cabinet and is probably 'One of a Kind'. Please comment and subscribe, thank you, Marty.

I loved these "models of yesteryear", and I had a few of them back in the 70's. The problem was that they were too large to fit into my carrying case. As a result, while I still have my original mid 70's carrying case with all of its contents, any larger vehicles such as these are lost to time. You did a great job, thanks for sharing with us!

@ant4812 4 жыл бұрын

Nice job even if the two-tone is reversed. Being a Matchbox model of that era, it would have been painted originally with Humbrol gloss enamel. The original colours on this car look to me like Ivory 41, and Sunset Red 51. As for the lights on the Rolls, they would have been acetylene lights. The gas generators are those pots on the running boards. You filled them up to a mark with water and then put a few lumps of calcium carbide in, and put the lid on. After a few minutes you could open the taps and light the lights with a match. An old friend of mine had a (full size) 1905 Peugeot Italia, it used the same system. On the Rolls the lever with the grippy thing on it operates the back brakes, and is also the parking brake. There's also a pedal brake that works on the prop shaft. No front brakes on this car, but then, the national speed limit in 1905 was 20 mph! The ball topped lever is the gear change. It was a 3 speed. Throttle, choke & timing advance/retard were levers near the wheel. Clutch was a pedal on the floor.

When you see how the earliest cars had to be operated, it makes you wonder that the things ever caught on. Ford's Model T is another great example, with its insane pedal arrangement, bizarre gearbox, and habit of running over its owner at startup if not set up exactly right. :)

The paint reversal was a "happy accident" and, I think, it looks *better* that way. The gold paint did a good job too. The pink is quite a bit away from the original red but it suits the old Roller and it's certainly not the first pink Rolls Royce. Great result Marty.👍 Congratulations to the three winners - well done guys. Cheers for now, Dougie.

My dad had three or four dream car matchbox models on his dresser from the time I could remember until my parents retired. This, in these colors, was his favorite. He once got to drive one at an exhibition at a local race track when they held a gigantice track day car show. My grandfather was the sports editor of the local paper and was able to get my dad in and on a couple occasions behind the wheel of some amazing exotics.
