Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost Ceremonial by Carbone
Roof Up
Also available CAR43106 roof down
These two typically well finished miniatures from Carbone depict the same car with roof down and raised. The distinctive machine was built for the Maharaja of Mysore, at the time claimed to be the second richest person in the world and one who was renowned for ordering his cars in multiples of seven! The fine detailing is very well done with extremely delicate wire wheels, realistic looking seating and plenty of plated parts including a snake’s neck horn. Photographs of the restored car in recent years showed it with a very colourful umbrella on the rear, which was to shade the servants as they rode on platform right on the tail. This was intended by Carbone to be included with the roof up version, but was so delicate that it sadly had to be abandoned, although there is a mounting there.
