Corgi did this really nice 1937 Rolls-Royce as it appeared in the 007 "Goldfinger" movie. The replica is in about 1/37 scale and models a car that certainly would be a luxurious ride for Auric Goldfinger, Pussy Galore or James Bond !

Great pictures Mike. I have the model and believe it is closer to 1/43 than 1/37 scale. Unfortunately the headlights on mine do not work.

That's excellent that it is closer to 1/43 scale, Bob. It is such a huge (and beautiful) model automobile it makes one think they would have to build a new room in their house to display a replica in something like 1/18 scale !

It couldn't be anything else as a license plate for Mr. Goldfinger !
