Fabulous additions to your collection Gerrit. I think the 'GLM' models are superb and must find a way of getting one to study it in close detail because they do look accurate, but the 'TSM' Phantom VI does not, there is something about their models their models that just misses the mark, maybe I'm getting too critical in my old age...

TSM screwed up again calling this a PVI, like they did with the James Young model. The first PVI delivered in Nov 1968; this model is quoted being from 1966, so it is a PV.
Another thing: a PVI has side indicators on the front wings, this one hasn't. Then we have the coachbuilder, stated as Park Ward, this is wrong, from Nov 1962 it all became MPW.
But it is a fine looking model anyway.

Thank's Gerrit, I do remember discussing the TSM Phantom cars issue elsewhere, such a shame they can make such mistakes.

By the way Kevin, I sold my Shadow last week Wednesday.
All I have now are my happy memories, especially those of the flying lady.

OK Gerrit, thank's for the update. I hope things are coming good for you at the moment and all is working out as planned. I am sure the New Year will be as exciting for you without the Rolls-Royce and maybe one Day you'll get another dream car.
Love the flying Lady postcard
