Rolls-Royce Lledo Vintage Collection
At a car show, long, long ago, I was encouraged to purchase this collection of vintage Roll-Royce motor car models made by model make Lledo. They have subsequently been hidden on shelves or stuck in boxes for a near;y 30 years, but I thought it was only right to bring them out for this challenge.
Of note, as a set, the cars represent nearly 10 years of Rolls-Royce (and attendant body producer's) development, yet the plasti-chrome parts of the models are all but identical - a feature that I have continued on the Lego recreations.
Another intriguing feature is that the three models sit not in the same order as the information tablets behind them. If I also want to be picky, the information tablets do not specifically note out if the cars are of any particular specification - though the interweb provided a mostly useful reference to this.
The summary is here only, the cars featured, from left to right are:
Rolls-Royce 1931 Phantom II Brewster Sedan
Rolls-Royce 1934 Phantom II Playboy Brewster
Rolls-Royce 1925 Silver Ghost Barker Tourer
I will separately note the details contained in the information tablets for each car.
These Lego miniland scale Rolls-Royce Motor cars have been created for Flickr LUGNuts' 97th Build Challenge, titled - 'Our First Wheels' - a challenge to recreate, in Lego, a vehicle that we have owned as a toy or model.
