Rolls Royce Used Cars

Rolls Royce Used Cars as you have never seen them before however this is not a car you can actually drive away and probably doesn’t have the value of a real one.

Silver Ghost Rolls Royce

Rolls Royce Used cars are not build like this one. Although it took over a year to build and have moving wheels and other parts I don’t think it will ever have the collectibility of a real Rolls Royce.

When the car was first built it was called the ugly name of “40/50 h.p.” and it was produced in Manchester originally. Later production moved to Derby in about 1908.

The original “Silver Ghost” was actually a car with the registration plate AX 201. Many other cars were given names, but this one seemed to stick and in 1925 Rolls Royce launched the car as the Silver Ghost.

Well this version of a Rolls Royce Used Car is probably not worthy of the name Silver Ghost, but rather wooden ghost.

This Rolls Royce Used Car is made out of 1,016,711 matchsticks and is over 13 feet long.

And here is my model tram…

It is getting bigger now with the sides on and also the bench seating. Next I will be starting on the underside of the roof. So far I have worked on it about 35 hours and nearly 2,000 matches.

It’s pretty cool if I say so myself, but it is not a patch on the above Rolls Royce Used Car
