Rolls-Royce the leader of the Lenin Revolution will be restored after 100 years

The main keeper of the State Museum of the History of St. Petersburg Veronika Coppel confirmed that they plan to return the valuable exhibit to the exposition in 2026. Russian restorers have a lot of work, since the state of Rolls-Royce is far from the original: under the USSR, the engine was replaced with the GAZ-51 unit, and the body was installed on the domestic chassis.

Veronika Koppel said that Rolls-Royce was released in 1916, that is, they plan to complete the restoration to the centuries of the car. It is believed that Vladimir Lenin himself used the convertible: this machine was converted into an all -terrain vehicle, received a cloth roof and was used for the leader’s suburban walks until his death. Under the USSR, they did not think about authenticity: in addition to technical filling, they replaced the headlights and the upholstery of the cab.

The head of the restoration workshop of the State Museum of the History of St. Petersburg Ilya Solovyov admits that in the current reality, it can be difficult to get original spare parts. However, such an opportunity will necessarily be studied. If Rolls-Royce does not provide assistance, then the restorers will have to create accurate copies of lost elements. However, even after restoration, the car will not drive: it will not be possible to restore the British engine.

A non-trivial task is to find out the color of the Rolls-Royce leader of the world proletariat. It is believed that the genuine shade is brown, not black. After restoration, the car will be stored in a closed warm room to minimize the degradation of the paintwork and rubber products.
