While searching for other items, I ran across this rather unique Matrix Rolls Royce and I assume it's designed on the Silver Cloud chassis, though it is very possible I am way off.  Several listings popped up this weekend and they are all using promo photos, only.  I have never seen this car in any venue and there is very little info available with the listings.

Although beautiful in a classic sense - I do NOT want to change a tire on THAT bad boy - ever!

@perrone1 Not to worry Tony. If you acquire the 1/1 I'll be glad to change it for you.

@perrone1   It is definitely not an owner-driver, TP, so you wouldn't even have to get out of the car.

@karl   Thank you, Karl.  I cannot believe I have never encountered it until now.

Now, THAT I like! Geeves, have Billy Bob at that service place thingie, remove those God-awful rubber devices on the wheels and have him replace them with white walls.
