In 1979, to commemorate 75 years of Rolls-Royce, the company commissioned pairs of bronze busts of the founders. These weigh together 4 kilograms, about 9 pounds. The height is 220 mm / 8 .75 inches. They are beautifully executed pieces that would look wonderful in your office, library or den. These two items were in the showroom of a Rolls-Royce dealer in the South of England for very many years. You will get with them…..the rather creased certificate, a copy of the price list from 28 years ago, ( Rolls-Royce later sold some to employees ), a note of the director of the company’s comments about them ( where they were situated ) and a few notes about the company. Underneath is green beize.
On the front of each is a brass plaque, as you will see.
These were exhibited last weekend at the RREC’s annual rally in Kelmarsh.

Busts of this type very rarely come available, These were presented by R-R to the dealership, where they were kept in the office of the Director.
