Celebrating 50 years of Rolls Royce Silver Shadow (introduced in the fall of 1965) with a Matchbox gathering of #24 and #39 Shadows

That is a good display Gerrit. I have thought of a few ideas to help with the celebrations, so stay tuned...

Why don't you saddle up your own RR and come over here. We have a drink together, do some touring in our own Shadows and then off home again. That is some celebration.

Don't think I have not thought of that, it would be fantastic, but sadly I am in no way geared up for travelling abroad on a technical basis or practicle basis, I am a full-time carer for my Father and have even not been to some toy fairs because of his varying state of well being, so a great idea sadly unable to come true for the foreseeable future.

I understand Kevin and I have a lot of respect for your care giving towards your father.

A big 'Q' for a big Question...



...the Question is, who is having a birthday?

GHOSTHUNTER.

i expected 50 different ones Kev not the measly 26 shown

Nice display Ecclesley. Lilac is my favourite amongst the models as I mentioned in another post. And Ghosthunter's presentation is just fabulous. What amazed me is that all the models used are regular wheels Silver Shadows which Matchbox first introduced basing on the 1965 Silver Shadow, our theme. Wonder if the hood ornament was taken from your real RR Kevin?

I made the below display early today, joining the celebration


The pattern may be a bit hard to recognize. I think it looks better when it's made smaller


Cheers,
Ritchie

Ritchie, your display is the absolute winner for me.
What a colorful collection, amazing really.

Do I see many Bulgarians or are these your own code 3?
Please tell me more about it.

No sound unfortunately:
