Thanks guys, anyone else?

Have you tried typing the number plates into that DVLA database lookup tool?

[lostkiwi]

Number 3 looks to be a Rolls Royce Phantom
Number 4 is a 1930s Rolls Royce (Wraith perhaps? or maybe Phantom?)
Number 5 same as 4 I think.

5) RR 20/25 or poss 25/30??
6) RR Cloud s1

[Legend83]

Cheers for all the help guys - this is to help a friend of mine who has to footnote wedding articles with these details.

Any idea what is behind the DS420 in the first pic?

Can't see it very clearly, but I suspect it's a Jaguar MkV

Those fake-landaulet pram-trims on the side of the first Royce are just grim, even worse than the whitewalls. They make it look like a 'merkin hearse.

For number 5 I'd definitely go with the 20/25.
The Wraith was only made 1938-39....After that they were Silver Wraiths and very different.
Changed my mind on number 3 - rear is wrong for a Phantom so I'll go with Silver Cloud III from 1963 or thereabouts.

Upon checking some photographs, I concur.

I did something similar; trouble is, can only see 3 out of 6.

Any wedding car with a registration LOR is supplied by Lord cars. I recognised the roller in pic 4 as I hired the very same car for my sisters wedding

Rule number 1 when coming up with any kind of naming convention... Make sure it's extensible enough...

...and as for...

Not exactly what you would call a looker, but if memory serves right, wasn't it fitted with a V8 4.5 litre hemi engine ? Would have been quite fun to shoehorn this engine into a Mk2 shell.

It has been done, also "Doc" had one in his racing Cortina.
