Sorry, another what is this car thread.

From my parents' wedding photos C. 1961. I was guessing a Roller but I'm not sure.

Thanks.

I am pretty sure it is an Austin Sheerline Princess Limo

I would go for the Austin Limo , not substantial enough for a Rolls and I do not think that the chrome horn assembly would have been a Rolls fitting.

Here you go an Austin Sheerline limousine in the Mendoza museum...

p.s. Google 1952 Austin Sheerline and you'll find lot's of images, the interior matches too with the ashtray on top of the centre of the dash.

It's not a Rolls-Royce steering wheel, nor does the dash look right either. It dies seem to be a good match to the Austin in the photos.

It is a match for the Austin Sheerline. There are interior shots on Google and they match the steering wheel and ash tray.

Thanks, that's really interesting.

Can't ask my parents as they're not around any more frown
