I'm thinking it's a Hooper bodied Bentley ..similar to this Rolls-Royce - /vehicle_15721-Rolls-Royce-Silver-Cloud-1956.html -- Last edit: 2006-01-15 03:21:34 |

I think it is a Daimler Empress. |

You are right, it is a 1954-56 Hooper bodied Bentley S1 Empress Saloon, one of 42 ever built. See: Link to "www.classicdriver.fr" |

A bit late I know but I'm sure it isn't a Bentley S1 Hooper as it looks too broad around the rear passenger seat. Hoopers are definately narrower: ![[Image: untitled-1.jpg]](http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/barrie5000/untitled-1.jpg "http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/barrie5000/untitled-1.jpg") The alternative is for an Bentley S1 by Freestone and Webb. It is a heaver, more bulky looking body especially at the rear of the cockpit. It also has the hooded headlights as does the Hooper. ![[Image: B121AP02.jpg]](http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/barrie5000/B121AP02.jpg "http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/barrie5000/B121AP02.jpg") |

Nope, I see what you mean, but it is a Hooper. Freestone would also have chrome windscreen surroundings |

Original is a lot sharper, even if it's cropped. |

Just as I thought  saved the original image anyway:![[Image: i018398.1.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/4290/24/i018398.1.jpg) |

My bad, sorry. I approved the replacement as soon as I noticed the current one was cropped. |
