COOL Chris, I think that model is THE Silver Ghost, the car that made the Rolls-Royce reputation
based on the license plate number. In fact that 1907 Rolls is still wandering the earth visiting car shows with over 600,000 miles on the odometer. The model needs to be silver of course unless the lighting is giving it that greenish cast. Nice car.

I have been impressed at how well Matchbox does for the price too. Have a bunch of their trucks and have had to do very little to them. In fact one of them even showed up in Randall Olson's book, "GM in Miniature" on page 135.
Cheers and Happy Collecting,
Steve
