Brilliant pics Chris, what a lovely collection and a very nice room to lose yourself (for hours and hours).

A "special" display case". A place where I put some pieces I haven't got space to display in other cases. Few boxes are empty because their models are displayed somewhere else.

Now this is my sort of display cabinet, lots of Rolls-Royce and Bentley models in there with several less common examples evident, like SMTS Corniche, Western Models, Budgie, Espewe, Mettoy and that Dinky #551 trade box.

The models in this cabinet alone is a collection to be proud of, thanks for showing them Fox ("Corky").

Thanks Kevin. There are the three Elysée too. And a 1980 's resin Silver Shadow limousine based on the best model a the time : the Eligor one. Bought in late 80's, I have to change the grille, replace a light and rebuild front wheels.
I think a few dozens have been made by Mr Maudhuit at the time.

I don't have a toy room, just a display cupboard. My little collection doesn't require a room ;) The cabinet isn't really photo friendly as the door slides open to 50 % to the right or left. I did my best with the pics without setting up major photography equipment. Here you are:

This is another nice mix of models, but I would like to see the Two 'Yesteryear' Lagonda models on their own (is one of them the 'Strawberry' version?), and nice to see some more Bentley models in someones collection, thanks for showing us.
