The Emperor!!!

The Emperor had some great pictures

I started this thread last Feb because it will be 50 years this month since the Rose Morris export models first came to the UK. It's been a great thread with some fabulous pictures of some outstanding RoMo models. As yet there is no news of any official recognition of the event, but maybe there's still time, who knows... So in the meantime I'll finish with an object of desire for me. This January 1964 1997 is owned by a friend, but I keep asking and asking and maybe one day he'll let me pay him lots of money for it. Happy new year everyone. Cheers, Mark

Happy New Year, Mark, and everyone else!

Mark, keep in mind that RIC is closed for the holidays at the moment, plus the NAMM Show is coming up in a few weeks, you never know.............

Thanks for sharing this Mark. That one is an absolute belter! Great to see one of these (which must have been from the very first export batch in 1964) surviving in such wonderful condition.

Nice to see that Jan 64 Mark thanks for sharing that. I can't believe you first posted back in Feb! Time flys.

Beautiful 1964 Model 1997 Mark!

I totally agree - I'm afraid that my RM 1996 & 1997 reissues can't really compete with the real deal from the 1960s
Happy New Year to all.

Jim - very nice Fireglo shading on the 1997 RI!

The 1996 is, of course, Amber FG.
