It's a Rolls Royce Silver Cloud or Bentley S-Type equivalent, soneone more knowledgable might be able to offer confirmation either way. |

This car has been identified without any justification of the guess. Why? |
|
◊ 2020-05-20 23:39 |
And how? |

And who? |

To clear it from unknown. We know it's either A or B, so picked A as most likely. |

Well, why didn’t you say so? I try to justify my guesses when I make one, so why should admins , from on high, be given dispensation to just hand down a guess with no explanation? -- Last edit: 2020-05-21 00:06:03 |

Bentley S1 3072 cars. Bentley S2. 1865 cars Bentley S3. 1286 cars. Bentley total. 6223 Cloud I. 2238 cars Cloud II. 2417 cars. Cloud III. 2044 cars. Royce total. 6699 So you cannot even claim a huge preponderance of one or the other. Figures include all chassis built, whether SSS or coachbuilder, and are taken from Graham Robson’s book, “The Rolls-Royce and Bentley, Volume 1, Standard Production Models, 1945 to 1965.” -- Last edit: 2020-05-21 00:32:51 |

Surprised how close the figures are - I always thought 50s/60s Bentley versions were the unwanted orphans compared to glamorous RR siblings. Why so many Bentley S1s - far more than any of the others?? |

But it depends on the marketplace, Bentleys were more popular in GB than other markets. In North America, the RR models sold better. |

most distinctive detail is that mirror, so i was curious about and John mentioned it, thank you! In Germany we have learned: Don't be a 'show-off' drive Bentley like the Queen does  |

In answer to the queries about the split between makes - look at the previous smaller six cylinder types’ sales figures to show how a decline from Bentleys began. Bentley Mk VI 4 1/4. 4000 cars Bentley Mk VI 4 1/2. 1201 cars Bentley R-type. 2320 cars 7521 Bentleys. RR Silver Dawn 4 1/4 170 cars RR Silver Dawn 4 1/2 110 cars RR Silver Dawn Long tail 481 cars Silver Wraith swb. 1144 cars Silver Wraith lwb. 639 cars 2544 Royces. So, 7521 Bentleys plays 2544 Royces, When the Phantoms are added the Royce number goes up by 1180, all types, but Bentleys still predominate by 2 to 1, but this started to change With the S-type and Cloud, esp the V-8 cars. Figures from Robson, plus Sedgwick and Gillies for the Wraiths and Phantoms. In the years following the end of WW2 the UK was subjected to severe austerity and the less “in yer face” image of the Bentley probably appealed to the company directors and such people who were in the market for a car of that price.* Also, the Royals had not owned Rolls-Royces for years, favouring Daimlers, until HMQ got a P4. (Or two) By that time the publicity seeker Norah Docker had given the large Daimlers a rather tacky image, so I suppose the Royals moved away. *Ten Morris Minors, or fourteen Ford Populars!
