Not really. They're just body shells. Rolls Royce & Bentley is about chassis & drivetrain, not coachwork.
IMO coachwork is very much a part of old Bentleys and Rollers.But, a Mulliner 2dr FHC style number ABC123 might be seen on a Derby, but also maybe on a Lagonda or an Alvis. Off the chassis, it's just a body.

Yes, that's what I was thinking of. It was at SEMA a couple of years back. However, that one is obviously more show than go, wheras the one in the OP is a proper drag car.
Love these kinds of conversions; must make the concours RR enthusiasts have nightmares!
1300hp so there should be plenty of go to accompany the show Love these kinds of conversions; must make the concours RR enthusiasts have nightmares!

With that fancy leather interior, sound system, TVs and upholstered (!) fuel cell, you can't really compare it to a proper drag car.

ost war, then yes, I suppose so. But on the older cars, RR&B never did bodys or coachwork. A client would order a chassis, and then send it off for coachwork. Many of the bodys on offer from the major coachbuilders back in the day could also be had on other chassis too. Although there were exclusive styles for RR&B from preferred and approved coachbuilders.

Just to make a point; Rolls Royce have used Chevrolet V8s in the past.
