Junkman ◊ 2009-04-03 02:19	It's a 40/50 Phantom II with coachwork by Thrupp & Maberly
park-ward ◊ 2010-03-20 18:56	It is a pre-1CL Phantom I, the radiator is not tall enough to be a Phantom II and the vanes are in a box. The coachbuilder is most likely French and it is most likely a second body or at least a modified one with added wing valances.

RR used Wilmott Breeden harmonic stabilizer bumpers from about 1934 onwards. These featured lead weights in a cylinder at either end of a horizonal spring, largely concealed from view by the bumper bar. The idea was to channel vibrations, amplify them and then damp them out. -- Last edit: 2010-05-14 17:37:43
