stronghold ◊ 2007-02-03 09:10	maybe vanden plas? (..one for junkman.!)
Sunbar ◊ 2007-02-03 16:21	Vanden Plas Princess 3 Litre I think, by the style or rear over-riders? - But to be confirmed.
kees-jan ◊ 2007-02-03 16:31	Front one a Rolls Royce 20 25 hearse?

bent8rover ◊ 2007-02-03 22:10	looking at the front half, it's more like an A60 to me. Is there another image?
modell ◊ 2007-02-03 23:28	bent8rover wrote looking at the front half, it's more like an A60 to me. Is there another image? It's in a sketch where the driver (Graham Chapman) chases the RR hearse and tries to pass it. I don't recall any front views, but I'll check.

banger134 ◊ 2007-02-04 14:33	My mistake rolls at front not a135
junkman ◊ 2007-02-13 13:32	I also think it is a Vanden Plas 3 Litre Princess. It is the only BMC Farina with that bumper/taillight arrangement and also would be a populat choice for a hearse coachbuilder.
