This is the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost 1924 Torpedo Tourer Million Guiet sn2AU Ettore Bugatti's Car open Green in 1:43 scale by Ilario.
The 1924 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost Torpedo Tourer “Million Guiet” (chassis 2AU) — once owned and raced by Ettore Bugatti — is one of the most extraordinary early luxury automobiles in history, uniquely blending sumptuous refinement with serious performance credibility. What sets this particular Silver Ghost apart from its competition was not just the model’s legendary smooth, near-silent six-cylinder engine and impeccable build quality (which earned the Silver Ghost its “best car in the world” reputation), but the fact that this example was driven and campaigned by Bugatti himself — a titanic figure in automotive engineering. The “Million Guiet” Torpedo body, known for its elegant lines and advanced (for its time) coachwork, paired with Rolls-Royce’s ultra-quiet, durable drivetrain, created a luxury touring car that delivered unparalleled comfort, mechanical sophistication, and cross-continental reliability at a time when most rivals struggled with refinement or endurance. Its combination of prestige, performance, and celebrity provenance makes this Silver Ghost a standout in automotive history and a singular engineering achievement of the 1920s.
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.
