Title: Video: Gerald Wingrove Model Cars
Post by: CPU on December 06, 2010, 12:52:06 pm
From The Gerald Wingrove Collection

Building a collection of models that represent over 400 years of wheeled transport history

Gerald Wingrove devoted seventeen years of his life to the business of light engineering as a center (centre) lathe turner. Seeing no future in this, he decided to turn his hobby as a model engineer into a full-time job.


1931 4.5 litre Supercharged Bentley:

The current project is to build three 4.5 litre Blower Bentleys fully detailed chassis in 1/15th scale and a complete one with a body by Gurney Nutting of London, as originally built for Woolf Barnato in 1931

I was shaking my head in disbelief throughout the whole video ...
I'd love to know how much that model would fetch at auction?
It's almost priceless ...
