Hello from Amsterdam

[Ecclesley]

Just enlisted to this forum, which I found through a different diecast forum.
An afficionado of Rolls Royce and Bentley in many ways: books, models and an owner of a '78 Silver Shadow as well.

Very much like the Matchbox Lesney models, and especially the #44 Phantom V is my absolute favorite.
I usually buy these cars in a play worn state and restore/modify/repaint them myself. The originals also in my collection of course.
Here a picture of some repaints:

Rumor has it that at night he sleeps inside a Silver cloud with his favourite Spirit of Ecstasy to keep him company, .....i kid you not, they dont call him Ghosty for nothing

Come on Alex, you know that's not correct.....................it's a Silver Shadow, not a Silver Cloud!!!
