I don't actually own many tinplate toys and of course those that I do are Rolls-Royce and One solitary Bentley.

A Rolls-Royce without the famous grille. This is the larger version of Two sizes made of this model.

It does say Rolls-Royce on the box, so it must be...

This is a strange model as it is a sort of cross between a Silver Cloud and Phantom V...!

No one of them both.
It's just a RR idea. That speaks to everyone.

Very impressive.
The Yonezawa silver cloud for me and of course the highway patrol
GH would I be right in saying these are of far better quality then mine?
I'm actually trying to avoid tin cars as I have so many Lesneys but I slip up now and then.
I guarantee my next viewing won't be a car!

The Haji Silver Cloud is certainly better and was part of a small (at least 3 other model cars known), range and has been seen on ebay at a 3 figure sum of Money.
Then the Two much bigger (around 1/20ish scale), models by Yonezawa were also part of a medium quality range with the remaining models coming into a basic quality sector and probably classed as the next level up from the 'Pennytoy' so quite equivalent to your noisy 'PoPo' model.
