1952 Rolls Royce Limousine

thats my guess.

 

It appears to be a Rolls Royce Phantom IV, however those cars were made to be built by a coachbuilder. All Rolls Royce did was build the chasis, the rest was up to the buyer. This link will give you a lot more detail on it as well.

I was going to say it looks very close to either a Rolls Royce Silver Wraith or a Bentley Mark V.

The Phantom IV looks very similar as well.

 

I'll tell you what, I think it is a Silver Wraith. I can't judge the year, but I can tell you that it is not a Bentley, because the Spirit of Ecstasy is pretty easy to see in one of the pictures. But I would put my money on the Silver Wraith, not the Phantom IV. Here is a link for more info on the Wraith:

Silver Wraith, the bigest clue is Elanor on her knees rather than standing up

 

Sweet, I actually had a correct answer .

 

Not only that..but I am simply amazing..

that is just a beautiful car!

 

thanks for the highres shot, that really is a beautiful car!

 

The car you and me posted are one in the same.

 

I don't know. They said it was the show car at the 1952 Brussel Auto Show, so perhaps 1952.

 

nice job walter, not only did you identify the car, but you took it a step further and identified the exact same car! great work!

 

I thought the kneeling lady was for the Middle Eastern market.

Does it have earlier origins?

 

The other car is a Daimler limousine.

Yep a daimler and a rolls. both great lux mobiles.

 

There have been many variations on the original " Spirit of Ecstasy" the sculpture of Eleanor Thornton by Charles M Sykes, apparently the first kneeling Eleanor was created following a request from a customer who had difficulty seeing past / over the original (they used to be larger than the current ones), one of the big myths has been that they were made from solid silver.........most modern examples were made from stainless with the older ones coming in a variety of materials and plated with different metals (the one off a 20hp on my desk is nickel plated)

It’s just a pity Rolls Royce is now just a badge engineering toy for BMW, I doubt if any other country on the planet would see one of it’s most famous companies destroyed in such a way as the moron blair allowed Rolls Royce Motors to be

 

Daimler Limousine is correct. In fact that particular one does not have the original paint, but was painted to match the Rolls. Used to be owned by the Royal Saudi Arabian Embassy.
