Just when I thought I’d seen the last of the Rollers, Sam gives me a very old hard back book entitled The first twenty Rolls Royce Silver Ghost’s.
Second one in, is this white beauty with a lid and luggage rack on top, it was a famous machine called
PEARL OF THE EAST ,!! It’s been lost forever——- nobody anywhere knows what happened to it.
I have it on the back burner—— but it has to be done, but at leisure—— over a year or so—— maybe start it sometime late summer—- I still have ambition!
You seen the latest model Dry Martini from Mike Bontoft and Phil Morris——- beautiful piece of kit—— selling for £99 retail !!! Should sell a shed load of ‘em at that price.
Down side of that is they’re “plastic”—- Made with a three Dee printer—— present day “DINKY”—— every one of them is perfect —- right down to the last detail—— just like the one before and the one after. Soul less—— the original was a one off—— the next one was just a bit different —— stretched—- widened —- cut down—— stern Drives—- outboards—— no two were ever alike !
when I do a concept of any raceboat—— I couldn’t possibly do two alike—— there’s no measuring stick used anywhere——- there’s no patterns——- just a love for a boat and a passion to build it, just like the original!
