Got to love that their round door and steep driveways could be a problem.

The first owner must have been a Pimp.
I could see him cruising the red light areas with one arm hanging out the window. |

Rolls Royce could roll that out of the factory today and people would still love it.
I'm imagining a copy of it in a fiberglass body on a chassis with some modern running gear under it...without the grill of course because Rolls Royce is a little touchy about that ![]() Love the sliding sunroofs in their own little depression in the roofline. |

I saw that in real life at the Peterson Museum a few years back.
It is without doubt the most impressive and elegant car I've ever seen. Those pics, as good as they are, barely do it justice.

My first thought after seeing these photos was Metallica's frontman James Hetfield's latest custom (he has a bunch of great cars)

Magnificent vehicle ... a true piece of coach building art.
Imagine hand making those round doors and making them fit properly, and the two windows meeting in the centre are fascinating. |

Seems it would be more aerodynamic going in reverse than forward.
