Welcome to the Ghost Club Int.

Rolls-Royce models by Gerald Wingrove M.B.E.
To celebrate Gerald's retirement from the world of modelling.

 

This a 1/32nd scale model of Charles S. Rolls's H.J.Mulliner "Balloon" car for the Selangor Pewter Co in the 1970's.

After a few hundred pictures and drawings, wood patterns are made and the brass elements are hammered into shape and welded or cast in dies.

 

 

Then the various bits and pieces are assembled like a kit.

 

 

The pattern is now ready for a photo shooting session.

 

This is what it will look like when sent to the die makers for mass production.

 

 

This model was commercialised by American Express though the Selangor Pewter Co.

 

 

This is a different effort but also in 1/32nd scale. This unique example was made in brass, then it was gold plated. It was completed for the Prince Michael First Gear Trophy in 1998. It represents a 1930 20/25HP Park-Ward coupe, chassis #GTR5.

 

 

One of 4 examples of the famed London-Edinburgh torpedo tourer by Holmes.

 

 

This time the scale is 1/15th.

 

 

Chassis #1826E was nicknamed "The Mystery", another chassis, #60551, carried the famous name "The Silver Ghost" which became the generic name of the pre-1926 40/50HP Rolls-Royce.

 

 

This is what the model looked like in 1994 when it was delivered to its Japanese customer.

 

 

These models are not for sale.
