This rather special Rolls was on sale at a local (rather special) car dealer - and it still is!  ;)

248.000 € and it's yours. Will certainly turn some heads in the neighborhood!  :mellow:

I'm surprised Rolls Royce haven't bought it and crushed it.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

See I told the UK lads you had a bit of class  :angel:  ;)

I'm surprised RR haven't sued them
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

RR, when they were at Crewe, were not above building 'specials' of their own. They had a separate line on the west side of the factory that did them, called the 'John Young' line, and some of the things going down there looked AWFUL. :(

But I guess if you paid them money...................
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Cool.  A RW 1:1 car whiffer.

Isn't Sbarro a chain of pizza restaurants in the US (or at least in New York)?

For enough money, it seems even Rolls will compromise... the way of the world. Sigh.

Dizzyfugu

Nah, it's an aftermarket conversion. And if you know that it was intended to be a mobile falcon hunting base for the desert, many details (wide tires, no serious roof, foldable windscreen) even make sense;D

Sbarro was a very reckless car designer/converter/manufacturer, though.

Y'know, I can see that as a WW2 staff car... not sure which nation, though.

Germany for Goering, the second rear axle being added to carry the weight, which is the only reason you'd add a second dead axle to a front wheel drive car.
