Re: Rolls-Royce Phantom V Fun-HO

The history of 'FUN HO!' is long and somewhat complicated, maybe an abridged version can be presented here at a later date, but for the purpose of the Rolls-Royce, it was originally introduced during 1967 until 1969, when it was marketed in a 'MOBIL' petrol branded box.
As we have seen from the excellent pictures above, there are many colour issues to collect and for the benefit of "Fox" yes the Silver-Grey example is genuine and one of the handful of metallic issues along with...metallic Lime Green and metallic steel Blue.
The 'Ghost Club International' stated 15-20 colours available on this model but I don't know if that included the re-issues.
Total production of the Rolls-Royce was 90,700.
The re-issues from 1996 were usually fitted with dark Blue tinted glazing (windows), and the headlamps were often painted in Silver, but production of these were not on a full-time basis, they were only produced when requested by contacting the 'Fun Ho" museum where the original manufacturing equipment is held and used for the casual production of the models.
