The Rolls Phantom VI was made from 1968 to 1990, with only 374 in total, though in the last decade not many were made. The Tomica replica has all main features operable and in 1/43 scale one can visualize what a big car this was.
I have one other P.VI, the British Heritage Models replica of Queen Elizabeth's ride during her Silver Jubilee in 1977.

With working top.

Impressive Phantom VIs all. I have the Tomica but I would also like the other two here.

Another photo from Claude's collection...
From L to R, Rextoys, Spot On, Minichamps and the last one not sure.

@lloyd-mecca The last one looks like the Oxford Daimler DS420. I have the Rextoys and Minichamps, but the Spot-On was always a little too pricey for me (those Spot-On collectors are rabid!) This was the Queen mother's car for several years.

I always liked the Royal fleet, even if I am not a RR guy (I would have a Bentley, however).
The only reason I am aware of many of the RR models. is that in addition to Cadillac, Claude worked on many RR iterations. He had a large following of RR collectors for whom he made many one-offs. He would often send me photos of his work (in progress and completed) which I have saved. I have about 650 different photos of his work (of all makes).
