James,

It's a Rolls Royce Silver Dawn.

[littleredrooster]

Bellow?? Is it shouting at you?

Armstrong-Siddeley, or could it be an early Austin Princess?

Do the assembled masses think it's English rather than from overseas?

Thought a Bent . . . Not sure.



Edit: sorry I misposted the interior. I posted the front of the car as well.

Don't think that interior is from that car. Interior looks like a Triumph 2000 or Stag.

It is. Early to mid 1970's Triumph dash & switchgear.

[MULLINER]

Mulliner produced this style of body for both Bentley MKVI and R Type and Rolls Royce Wraith & Dawn if you are interested in one try Real Car Co who have a Bentley MkVI at £22500 with this body style

[FarmerJim]

It clearly has a Rolls-Royce bonnet and grill, so not a Bentley. The headlights are free standing, rather than being faired into the front wings, and the wings themselves are not faired into the bonnet, so that suggests that it is earlier than a Silver Dawn. Possibly a Silver Wraith, but more likely to be a pre-war car, such as a Wraith or a Phantom III.

Sorry, just saw this thread . . . this is a 1939 Rolls Royce Wraith. Definite. No doubts. Laughed at some of the ideas.

Oh, and just to be clear, pre-war means it is a Wraith. If it were post war, it would be a Silver Wraith.
