LHD LWB S1/S2/SC1/SC2. So all we need is the make. Doesn't look as if RR plaque on bumper?? |

It certainly looks like a Bentley badge on the back bumper. There were very few S1/S2 LWB Steel saloons, and probably only a handful of lhd ones. The radiator ornament does not look elaborate enough to be Royce, but it is v. small in the picture. S1 LWB. Qty 36. 23 Steel. S2 LWB. Qty 57. 51 Steel. I do not have information on how many of them were lhd. -- Last edit: 2020-10-18 22:09:54 |

For the record, my info is: S1 LWB - 35 made Nov 57 to July 59, 12 of which were LHD S2 LWB - 57 made Jan 60 to Aug 62, 27 of which were LHD S3 LWB - 32 made June 64 to Jan 65, 12 of which were LHD So gravity pulls towards S2?? -- Last edit: 2020-10-19 13:50:00 |

I have that book, never thought of looking in it. My two sources were Graham Robson, “The Rolls-Royce and Bentley. Standard Production Models 1945-65” James Taylor “Coachwork on Rolls-Royce and Bentley 1945-65” The chassis #s quoted by Taylor for the S1 were ALB 1 to ALB 36, so there is a discrepancy of 1 somewhere. You have a small typing error, don’t you mean S3 for the ‘64-65 cars? S2 would seem fine, the extra weight of the LWB might be a bit unfortunate for the six cylinder engine. I always try for two sources where possible, it seems we have a third. -- Last edit: 2020-10-19 09:45:16 |

No there isn’t a discrepancy of 1, it’s my fault. Royce’s never use Chassis #13. -- Last edit: 2020-10-19 09:54:49 |

I think it is LHD as well, and with 9 LHD LWB Saloons by Park Ward and 27 LHD LWB S2 Saloons by Park Ward,(no way to tell thedifference from the picture) this is a rare car. |
