Two superstar models over three feet long reign over their lesser subjects. One is a Singer Le Mans which is a replica of a car that Miss Rogers owned and drove for forty years until 1998. The second, Madame Cloette, was probably the forerunner of Brum – a feisty car hero of children’s TV in the Nineties.
More than just model cars – Cloverlands is a sublime piece of motoring social history, lovingly compiled by an early motorist. This lifetime’s collection by one lady motorist assembled is motoring heritage par excellence, since her father gave her two model cars for a birthday present.Other collections -some 3000 items have been added. Miss Rogers not only collected, but built and commissioned models large and small. She visited Le Mans and the German Nurburgring and was a member of the Veteran Sports Car Club and member of The Society of Motor Historians for many years.
