Rolls Royce 10hp 1904 sn200154 Current Car Blue in 1:43 scale
This is the Rolls Royce 10hp 1904 sn200154 Current Car Blue in 1:43 scale by Ilario.
The 1904 Rolls-Royce 10 hp (chassis no. 200154) is one of the earliest automobiles produced by what would become one of the world’s most revered luxury marques, distinguished by its uncompromising engineering quality and smooth, reliable performance at a time when many cars were still experimental and temperamental. What set the 10 hp apart from its competition was Rolls-Royce’s meticulous approach to precision manufacturing and durability, with a robust twin-cylinder engine and exceptionally rigid chassis that delivered quiet, refined operation — qualities unheard of in many early 20th-century vehicles. Its elegant yet restrained design emphasized functionality and longevity over flamboyance, laying the groundwork for Rolls-Royce’s future reputation as a builder of automobiles that were not only symbols of prestige but machines engineered to the highest standards. In an era when automotive reliability was far from assured, the 1904 10 hp stood out as a benchmark of refinement, build quality, and mechanical trustworthiness.
Ilario’s 1:43 scale models are high-end, hand-crafted miniature collectible cars that capture the elegance and detail of classic and historic automobiles in a compact format (about ~10 cm long). These pieces are typically limited-edition, resin and metal hybrids with photo-etched parts, finished with meticulous paintwork and presented as display-quality collectibles rather than toys, making them prized among serious model car enthusiasts and collectors
