G'Day John,
When I first started to read your post I thought you were suggesting you might buy the Rolls in order to use it as your inspiration for the next model.....lol.
Cheers, crowie

I used to have a 4 or 5 inch model as a kid of this one. Colours were different on my model,
It was an ivory below and a burgundy on top.
Was one of the favourites then, Should check under the house and see if its there somewhere.

You're going to have your work cut out John...

Two sets of wheels (fronts are different to rears), and are you going to make all the tea set and all...!!
