I have always wanted a silver shadow. I just picked up the gold Mebetoys model this week.

I like the blue one.

These are true classics! They both look fantastic.

Nice cars - is the blue Bentley a Matchbox Dinky? I think I have that one somewhere. Thanx for the photo. That Mebetoys is a beauty!

The RR SS coupe must be rare in 1/1 form. Now I wonder if anyone makes a 1/43 Camargue!

The Bentley is a MB Dinky.

To my shame, I've only got one Rolls-Royce - the Camargue by Western Models. Nice to see that the Shadow has been modelled. Minichamps released a model of the Bentley a year or two ago - I must photograph mine at some time!

Here's the Mebetoys A-26 again - a silver Silver Shadow coupe. It was also produced in blue.

Here's another 1/43 die cast Rolls coupe - UK Dinky # 127, a Silver Cloud III. This model was current in the mid- to late '60s.

Finally, here's a 1/43 scale Camargue - not the Western white metal but rather a die cast from Japan. It is Asahi #2 and from about 1980. This Camargue was tough to find back then & probably very hard to find now. It was available in several colors - many of which were attractive two tones.

Thanks sharing and the brief description.

Thanks for posting the neat RRs, Ranchero. They look great.

I'm especially glad you posted the Camargue. Although I doubt I'll ever have one (1/1 nor 1/43) it's nice to know that some 1/43s exist out there.

I've always had a fondness for that big box coupe! It's design is so very un-RR that I still can't believe they produced it.
