Post by TinTin »

Another little Rolls Royce I purchased was this Silver Shadow Coupe but no box. Here are some pictures.

I never get tired of looking at that blue drop top Rolls-Royce and it has occured to me that we have known you for a week or so and already you have shown three Rolls-Royce models. I had better watch my step.. :D

Ghosty I do like this particular model and I am looking forward to collecting some of the different base colour variations. You have a wonderful collection of Rolls Royce’s which will take some beating :lol:

:lol: ah, the infamous 'Long Seat' version...

...I had a quick glance and for now that is as far as we need to take it. Don't want to alert our new Kevin to a variation too many forum members are chasing I.E. you and me :D

Oh No, he must have seen my posting so now the Cat is out of the bag!!

OK Kevin, this is what we must do, I'll book you an appointment for an hours session at 20:00 hours on Friday the June 14th for a meeting. You must bring with you a note pad and a pencil. I will then explain to you all about the 'Long Seat' version which will end with a questionare you need to fill in correctly to prove you understand what the session was all about and that you can identify a 'Long Seat' version at any given collectors toy fair or through decent pictures on ebay.

The session is limited to the one hour because they are expensive (£80 per hour), as they contain very valuable information so the cost is high to put the 'Fly By Nights' off.

At the end of the evening I will ask you to sign a decleration committing you to not tell any one else of your new found knowledge or if you need to, you have to ask for my written permission first.

Or I could just get you to click the link here...viewtopic.php?f=8&t=358&start=130#p27849

Ghosty thanks for the link for the useful information. £80 an hour is a bit steep but there again you are the oracle when it comes to Rolls Royce. I checked my model and I’m certain it’s the normal seat version.
