PICS. Two new ones from Matrix
First is a model of the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II Shooting Brake commissioned by John Entwhistle, bassist with The Who, to ferry his Irish Wolfhounds around. It recently sold for over ?47,000. The model is a superb replica with loads of detail, down to the gold coloured fittings, and the Rolls-Royce motif on the head rests.

Accompanying the Roller is an equally superb model of the Pininfarina styled body on the 1952 Bentley Mk.VI. Looks quite stunning in its two tone blue colour scheme. Loads of detail again.

Love both! Especially that Bentley. Would look great next to my "David Niven" Bentley.

They also announced a Bugatti Aerolithe. Looksmart has had one in their "coming soon" section for about 1.5 years. The last time I asked them about it I was told it was on hold. Good job, Matrix. I suspect the Matrix will be as good or better that the Looksmart and a lot less expensive.

I agree with you entirely about the Aerolithe and the
Matrix version looks great, just look at those rivets along the spine and by the wheel arches, this is going to be Look Smarts loss.

Amazing detail. I thought yours were photos of the actual motorcar!

Amen!
