Is that a Rolls-Royce badge on the radiator? |
◊ 2010-04-09 20:54 |
It is. |

Replica for sure. |

How can you tell that's a replica? |
◊ 2010-04-12 13:14 |
How could one think it is not a replica? Modern wheels, wrong dimensions, too rounded fenders, hidden front axle... Brrr. |

It looks like the model glued from cartoon-cut. |

It isn't a replica. It's the real thing. I guess either a Phantom or Phantom I, late 20's or early 30's. It dates from the period when all Rolls Royce had individual coach built bodies and many have had two or three bodies over their lifetime. Rounded mudguards (fenders) were very fashionable on the later bodies. Some Rolls Royce bodies are pretty grim as the body builder would have to include all the owners ideas and fancies. Pre World War 2 Rolls Royce only provided the mechanical components of the car, buyers then commissioned the body of their choice. Some were very elegant, many were nice but pretty ordinary and some were horrible. Very few were identical. |

I agree it is a real Rolls. But I think it is an Englished bodies 20-25 from the mid-thirties. They built a lot of very ordinary looking cars on the small horse power chassis |

Plate is now on a grey 2010 Volvo C30 diesel. Pity, because it suited a wedding car. |

I guess we should list this as Rolls-Royce, not sure what we will make the model name though... |
