Many of us have this car in a variety of scales. Here's the real thing.

 Yes, surely there weren't two of these. Sometime in the 1960's I saw this round-door RR, but at that time it was painted gold, and advertised as being 24K gold paint. It was in a large trailer and it cost real money (Sorry, don't remember how much) to go in the door and walk beside it. There was some kind of divider to keep us spectators from touching it. I remember it as being kind of tired but awfully impressive.  Watching this film, I found the RR has had a very complete life even before its restoration.  Interesting! Thanks for posting this one, Paul.
(later) Did a little research and found the story of this Round-door Rolls, included its gold-plated tour. You can read it at:
