1976: Set #395 Name: Rolls-Royce "Silver Ghost" 1909 Series: Expert Ages: 9 and up Launched: 1 September 1976 Discontinued: 31 December 1978 Behind the model on the box cover you can see a little castle called "Badstueslottet" in the romantic garden of Frederiksborg Castle, in the heart of the town of Hillerød in Denmark, the country where LEGO bricks are made. The Rolls-Royce model included "real data" about the life-size Rolls-Royce from 1909. The Expert Line (also known as Hobby Sets) This was a line of seven vehicle models based on real motorcycles, trains, and cars. Here’s what LEGO said about this line back in 1976: "LEGO Hobby Sets are for experienced builders. Hobby Sets are for those who are very good at building with LEGO bricks. They are not for beginners! These models look super displayed in your room and will be admired by your friends." A closer look at the Rolls-Royce box. Suggestions for displaying the LEGO Rolls-Royce model.
