Anglia105E

Thanks Dave, Your build looks very different to mine! My approach is to build an exact replica of an actual car, right down to the precise Rolls-Royce paint code. Your car does look very interesting, and sounds like you got one for a good price too. David

Thanks for all replies so far, and I had a good look through the Hannants website in UK, but could not find this kit listed. They do list the Minicraft TR3A and also the Italeri Phantom 11, but no Silver Clouds. I have emailed Hannants to enquire further. When this build is complete I shall post some photos of it on this forum, and I am happy to receive comments, good and bad! David

Hi All..... I am a new member of this forum, building 1:24 scale Rolls-Royce motor cars and based in England. Currently building and modifying ( heavily ) a 1962 Silver Cloud series 11 which will be a 1957 Silver Cloud series 1. Having been in touch with Minicraft Models in Elgin, Illinois they were very good at sending me a replacement windscreen part, for the damaged item that was in the box on delivery to UK. However, now that I am asking if I can order several more kits directly from Minicraft, they are telling me that this particular model number 11209 is discontinued and they have none left. So far I have only been able to source this model through Amazon and Ebay. Does anyone know if there is a way of purchasing these kits, other than using Amazon or Ebay? I have done a lot of research about Hubley, Entex, Academy and Minicraft recently, and there are no suppliers of these kits in the UK. By using an Italeri 1934 Rolls-Royce Phantom 11 donor kit, also 1:24 scale, I was able to build a straight-six engine for the Silver Cloud to replace the V8 engine supplied in the Minicraft kit. That has been very successful, if rather tricky to achieve ( much cutting away of the engine bay floor ! ). Many thanks, especially to forum members in the United States David
