This is one of my favorite Dinky models. Other than the very rare red with orange interior version featured above, I hope that I have now found an example of all the possible outside colour and interior combinations (unless there are any more?):

Hi Bako. This has suddenly become my favourite thread... :D

Great collection you have there, regards having all of them depends on how far down the detail variations path you want to go, but essentially there are others you might want to chase.

On my vastly outdated (1993), master listing for this model, I have these listed.

4 Turquoise-Blue versions.
9 Gold versions.
4 Red versions.

plus another Five waiting to be checked and added to the listing.

Hi Ghosthunter, It may have been you who posted the variation photos below (I have saved the pictures but can't find the original posting). I think these are the variations you mention, are they just slight changes in colour shade? I can see that all three of my gold versions are a different colour, the one with white seats being much brighter than the other two:

Well done Bako, they are my pictures and I was looking for those to put in my last post so thank's for reposting them. No, its not just colour shades that define the extra versions. The very first Blue (using Blue for the sake of having to try and remember the spelling of Turquoise... :lol: ), model has casting changes to later Blue models. I am unable to do a definitive article at the moment that details all the versions I know of, but please believe me it is always on my mind that the article needs to be done for the forum so keep watching these threads and do please keep posting your comments about this and any other Dinky Toy Rolls-Royce models you have or like.

Thanks Ghosthunter, A definitive variation article for this model would be very welcome!

I will dig out my other Dinky Rolls Royce's which include a 2 pre war 30b's through to a blue silver shadow.

The gold one with white interior is still missing me.

Yes the gold with white interior does seem to be the hardest to find, I was looking for this one for over a year. I guess it is because the outside colour was changed to red shortly after the white interor was introduced.
