From My Brooklin Collection... Post #022

As I explored the Brooklin catalog of models, I came across models that were modified, detailed or enhanced by various artists. Many of them were created in very limited numbers and in some cases, just one. This is one of those.
When I came across this model on eBay, I knew very little about it specifically at the time I found it. I knew one thing, I had to have it, and as before, I bid what it took to acquire it, fortunately, this time I was successful. 
This is what I know now about this beautiful creation. 1st, it belonged to Dick Browne and was one of the models that was being sold via eBay. It was created by John Roberts specifically for Dick Browne, and is the only one in these colors to exist. Now I knew I would really like this model, but when it arrived, I was blown away by the overall look and artistry of its creation. I consider it as one of the highly prized models in my collection. The original 1:1 was created by Raymond Lowey with coachwork by the Derham Company.
