Rolls Royce special 27 litre

[Dodgey1]

Some pics of my v12 1932 Rolls Royce special I’m slowly putting together doing it all my self so takes a bit of time just been chipping away, have had some mates fab up parts I didn’t have the machinery to do myself. Finding period correct bits that look good was difficult while covid lockdown was on in Australia, did do a bit of a write up earlier on under the same heading and pics of how the Rolls started so here’s where I’m up to so far.....dodgey1

What a marvelous thing!

What're you using as chassis, transmission and final drive?

I hope the exhausts are staying as stub-stacks!

Truly lovely it looks amazing.

just looking at the pics, are those spoked wheels man enough for the job?

This thread is worthless without video(with sound. Good quality sound).

Many years ago a bloke called John Dodd had a 27 litre RR engined car.

It was supposed to be Merlin engine but wasn't, it was a detuned version. Based on a coach chassis, it was more for show than go. And prone to catching fire.
