Speaking of the contest on LUGNuts, my pal Firas Abu-Jaber drew #1 in a list of 100 predetermined cars. Not only did he build an amazing replica, but he's also got the hood ornament and the external trunk to boot. Check out the link to Firas' in-depth write up and tons of extra pics on MocPages.
This, in my opinion, is one of the most beautiful cars ever built. Of course it's a product of the 1920's and of Rolls Royce, and between the aesthetics of the period, and the famous attention to detail of RR, how could it not be utterly stunning. Builder Lino M does it justice in this MOC. Or as the Sultan famously said in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom...
“Rolls-Royce Phantom Two. 4.3 litre, 30 horsepower, six cylinder engine, with Stromberg Downdraft carburetor. Can go from zero to 100 kilometers an hour in 12.5 seconds...And I even like the color.”
