This thread is for the Y10-3 1906 Rolls-Royce. It is not intended to overrule the information contained in Nick's 'Yesteryear' guide, but somewhere for me to rest pictures of models from my own collection.

The first picture below, shows 19 models in a 'Time-Line' from the first issue introduced in 1969 upto the last issue in 1972, when the production of 'Yesteryears' were suspended.

The numbers you see on the little labels do not correspond to any code numbers used in any published reference media, they are simply to show how many models are in this line-up and to tell me quickly I have 19 versions of this particular Rolls-Royce model.

Poor Marmaduke, all that dusting! Seriously Ghosty, that time-line is very impressive. How long did it take to find them all?

Now let me see, the Queen's coronation was in 51 or 52, I was just coming out of Nappies...

So a lifetime then or does it just seem a lifetime? (btw it was '53)

[GHOSTHUNTER]

It seems a Lifetime.
My first listing is dated 1986 and it lists 6 versions of the model shown in the above picture, the issue from 1969-72. The overall number for all versions upto the last issue during 1984, is 33 versions taking-in the White over Purple and then the all-Silver issues.

I am not sure what the total number of Y-10 Silver Ghost models is, as I have added quite a few issues from the late-70's and early-80's.

Going back to the first issues in the above picture, I only completed that collection in very recent times, one of them coming from the Windsor toy fair when I first met our Nick, so I think he brought me some good luck!

I didn't find a post dedicated to the Y15 RR.
May I post the pictures of the one I got (if someone could be interested in it) here ?

There you go Fox, there is now a thread for the Y-15 Rolls-Royce, so you can post your pictures in there, as many as you like.
