BUSCH 44451 - Bentley Series III Convertible, Metallic Silver

Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud – a "silver cloud" in the automotive sky. Founded in 1906 as Rolls-Royce Limited, the company was financially troubled when it was acquired by the British car manufacturer Bentley in 1931 after only 25 years of independence. From then on, production was merged, and both car brands continued to be sold under different names. After the end of the war, the first Rolls-Royce to appear was the Silver Cloud series, a further development of its predecessor, the Silver Dawn, which was largely in the hands of JP Blatchley.
The rigid frame consisted of a simple welded rectangular tube construction and, as was customary with Rolls-Royce, was separated from the body. This separation enabled the luxury manufacturer to realize various special bodies. The noble car was 5410 mm long and 1899 mm wide and weighed an impressive 1801-1914 kg. With the new 6.2-liter V8 gasoline engine with 6,321 cm3, the Series II car reached 183 km/h (114 mph) and could even be ordered with power windows upon request. The Series II Bentley was identical to the Silver Cloud except for the radiator. Surprisingly, however, Bentley enjoyed greater success than the similarly constructed Rolls-Royce, so that by the end of the 1980s, more vehicles were delivered with Bentley emblems than with Rolls-Royce emblems. Ultimately, however, it is the shape and elegant appearance of this luxury car that captivates classic car enthusiasts. This 1:87 miniature of the Bentley shows the model in an absolute luxury version that will make collectors' hearts beat faster.
