Saw this RR on the way home today and i'm interested to know which model it is.. apologies for the crappy pic! Reg checks give me MAKE: Rolls Royce MODEL: Other. So no help there really. It doesn't look like its been kept in all that great condition, unless its just got mucky because of the rain. If it helps, the REG is wx4952 if you can't make it out.



Thanks in advance!!

Looks like a late Silver Ghost. Say 1920's onward

looks a little small to be a ghost, my guess would be a 20 or 20/25

I can tell you that this is a 1930 20/25 with an open touring body by Horsfield (no I have never heard of them either) and is chassis number GDP32. Ah, just realised the reason I don't know the coachbuilder is because Horsfield is the name of the owner so I presume he built his own body for the car.
