RR 24c

I am restoring 24c's on a regular basis, this is # 25 to be precise. Therefore I thought it the moment to produce a RR: Regular Regular.
Confused? Well the regular silver hubcap wheel on this wreck of a car were completely shot, so I shod the car with a set of regular wheels.
A little bird told me that this configuration might have been the original intention of the Lesney production. If that bird is right, consider this a replica.

A Grey #24c 'Pre-Pro' was pictured on the early 1967 price list covers and it was also shown in the 1967 pocket catalogue, but it was a multi model picture and the Rolls-Royce in the top left corner is quite small...

The same picture was used in 1968, after the model had been introduced in that funny Light Pink.

On my screen it looks lavender. Nice though in a retro way :)

I must conclude that I am terribly colour deaf.
