I thought it was time to get back to basics, again, and I bid on this little nugget, a 1935 Rolls Royce Phantom II Continental Sports Coupé, bodied by Gurney Nutting and created in 1:43 form by Matrix. Surprisingly, I won the auction for a very comfortable price. We shall see if it was a wise purchase, when it arrives:
And, a few pics of the original:

More luscious than a Key West Key Lime Pie.

...it's a cool "harddtop" model but it's got a hole in the top. 😉 😉 😉

@geoff-jowett These are actually the original colors:
This Phantom II short-chassis Continental Streamlined Coupe is one of five PII Continentals exported to India and the last of the 280 Continentals built by Rolls-Royce. The chassis was sent to Gurney Nutting on behalf of the Maharaja of Jodhpur who specified the green and cream paintwork. The car was delivered to Bombay in October 1935, and it is now the only remaining Phantom II Continental in India. In 1944 it was sold to the Maharaja of Rewa and in the mid-1950s to a further owner from Bombay. The current owner's father purchased the car in 1962 and painted it dark green. In 2009 this unique Rolls-Royce received its first-ever engine overhaul. Later, a cosmetic restoration was completed that returned the car to its original color scheme.
