Description
Unique and beautifully built miniature copy of a 1922 Rolls-Royce
Silver Ghost; a dream gift for a child or a fabulous ornament for any man
cave
This fabulous
pedal car has been expertly made by one of the most renowned craftsmen
in this very specialised market niche. A vintage car enthusiast and collector,
he has built many miniature versions of exotic cars owned by some very
distinguished clients over the years – some of them intricate ‘tool room’
copies, some just fun playthings for children.
A
unique miniature version of a 1922 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, it has a
coach-built aluminium body with steel cycle wings, mahogany running boards,
opening driver’s door and pneumatic tyres on wire wheels with aluminium centre
caps.
It also has steel pedal gear and steering
mechanism; coil suspension; working headlights; pleated cinnamon leather
upholstery; cord-strung steering wheel; plastic windscreen; dummy dash
instruments; Shell petrol can; 1922 tax disc; polished brass Spirit of
Ecstasy mascot and dummy RR 1 number plates.
It
measures 60” long x 26” wide x 24” high to the top of the windscreen.
While any child would be thrilled to
have this in their Christmas stocking, like they say: 'Youth is wasted on the
young' and we can't help feeling that the sheer quality of the thing would
be better appreciated by sophisticated adults. Perfect for any man cave, it
would also be a real talking point in a trendy bar or gentlemen's
outfitter.
