![]() Your choise but the continental or benz will problably go to the comments if you chose one of those. |

Why dont you list them all? |
◊ 2008-06-22 22:43 |
Well, I could list the black and the white car on separate pages I guess... |

The rarest is probably on the left of the Continental, it looks like a 1956 Facel Véga FV2 ![]() |

I agree with Bref ![]() Btw, the black Rolls-Royce seems to be a Phantom V? The white Jaguar seems to have the bigger taillights of the 1960/61 Mk.IX, and at least it's a 1957+ Mk.Viii (two-tone, open rear wheel arches). |

Because that results in 3 the same pictures? |

And? i agree on not repeating pictures when the cars are not interesting but in this case this doesnt matter i guess, since them all arent common cars... |

The Lincoln and the Mercedes are not that rare... |

@DynaMike Defo, that is without a doubt RR Phantiom V Standard Steel Saloon aka the HJ Mulliner Park Ward Limousine |

The high roof line and single headlights make the Royce a Phantom V as said above. Standard Steel is not correct as it is a description only applied to the Dawn or Cloud models (and the Bentley equivalents) when fitted with the factory bodywork. |

True, nasty habit of mine to refer to any 'factory' standard coaches as such... to be on the safe side I added the official reference to H.J. Mulliner Park Ward, the coach was actually design by Park Ward before Rolls-Royce increased their share in the firm to 100% and merged it with the already owned H.J. Mulliner firm. Of course each coach was hand built, but this particular design ws about as standard as you could get with the Phntom V ![]() -- Last edit: 2008-06-24 19:38:54 |

The problem with the standard steel bodies is the steel. It was not good quality even for Royces and Bentleys and my R-type Bentley built in 1953 has some quite nasty holes in it at present. At least you can get the parts, unlike a lot of the very low quantity coachbuilt special bodies. |
