I can't remember exactly when or how I came to own this, but at that time it was with my baby Nephew in mind. He drove an actual car round Brands Hatch last weekend, which gives a clue as to for how long I've not got around to doing anything with it. I have a baby of my own now, so have been re-motivated to give the smol-Rolls a spruce up! Also, my Brothers & I had one exactly like it when we were kids in the 80's, so I'm super excited for HC-Jr to have one to trundle round in  Pics of current condition:     It did come with some of the lights (not all) but they're pretty smashed up, there is no rear bumper and the front one is smashed/partly missing. Parts for these fetch nutty money (and whole ones are crazy), so I'll have to get creative. I did find a slightly tatty grill on eBay for £30 so snagged that, and have commissioned Colonelk to 3D print a Spirit of Ecstasy for it. I'll post up pics of the bits I have after the weekend, and try to keep this up to date with progress. |

Love that. I will go look in my garage loft later to see if there are still a pair of old trailer mudguards I certainly used to have, that may solve the rear light lense/cluster issue. I may have given them away as I often do, to someone needing them. If not, I will let you know. I found these two for £10.00 today. Not yet bought them, but may go fetch the red one as I have a faded pink one already, with a small broken plastic steering part.  They make great random ornaments to trip over or bang your head in the garage |

There you go. Went to look, obviously never got taken. Yours for postage as is, or I can strip the lights off the plinths. They weigh 1kg each, or just over 2 lbs each. I suspect the will be too big. But could measure, also not flat They are Lucas units.  Let me know if any use to you. |

I, like you, suspect they will be too big - could I trouble you to measure them please? No rush at all  |

as per TAB tradition (TABdition?) when it's getting lowered? Do you plans for scale 22s? If not, why not?

Brilliant,
Don't know why but looking forward to seeing future updates on this thread,
Ref. the bumpers could you not make them in wood then use them as a mold to re-make in fibreglass ??
