No indicators on top of front wing, so SC3. Handles on C-pillar look naff. |

They are not handles, they are imitation landau irons. If you have to descend to the depths of naffness of painting a car of this type white, and having whitewall tyres, you might just as well compound the felony, in spades, by fitting such things. Perhaps it needs candle holders on the windscreen pillars to complete the effect. |

What's so bad about a white RR?? A white Model T I can understand, but... |

OK on a Shadow, but height of bad taste on a Cloud. -- Last edit: 2021-09-10 21:27:26 |

I never cared much for these, but I think that white is the color that suits them the most. |

I cannot agree, it is far too redolent of cheap old bangers sprayed white for wedding taxis. Two tone dark blue and silver is much more stylish. Link to "www.alamy.com" -- Last edit: 2021-09-10 23:28:37 |

Does not her Royal Highness, QE2, have a white Rolls in the fleet?? |

You’ve been watching too many cheap films made by people who think they know what Britain ought to look like! Why would she want one when she has several black over claret Royces and two Bentleys, the design of which is unique to her. “ The official cars (as opposed to vehicles for staff or private use) are all painted in black over claret (known as Royal Claret). They are driven, cared for and maintained by a number of chauffeurs, who are based in the Mews and work under the Head Chauffeur (who, along with his deputy, is primarily responsible for driving the Queen).” Cars in the fleet listed here:- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Mews -- Last edit: 2021-09-11 09:24:43 |

You don't have to respond in such a haughty manner. A simple no would have sufficed. And is it in the realm of possibility that she may have owned a white one at some point, albeit even briefly. YOU stated, "Why would she want one when she has several black over claret Royces and two Bentleys, the design of which is unique to her. The interior and the paint scheme may be unique, except for that and if one did not know better, it is just another RR.00 And FYI, I don't watch movies. There are several tv shows of UK origin that I do like. List furnished upon request. |

I’ll be as I wish to be, I don’t use profanities and try to check my facts before I say things. The two Bentley state limousines were designed by Bentleys, and built in Crewe after the split from Rolls-Royce. See here: - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bentley_State_Limousine Note: since I do not wish to cause offence I have modified the above. There is nothing haughty about me, I am just an ordinary person living in an ordinary place with an extra-ordinary wife and two dogs. My English usage is dictated by the fact that I learned it nearly three quarters of a century ago. -- Last edit: 2021-09-11 12:26:51 |

Congrats upon attained 3/4 of a century. May you reach the century mark. And the Queen's English is preferrable to American English. Much more eloquent. Note; Does it not sadden thee that both RR and Bentley are owned by Deutsch firms? |

Yes, but that is part of the action of capitalism. I worked most of my life in the defence industry, including one period for Vickers, who broke up Rolls-Royce Motors and sold it to the German motor industry. I made some money on my shares when Alvis was sold to BAe Systems, and now another part of the British defence industry, Ultra is being bargained about by the asset strippers. Yet another excellent British company for whom I worked, GKN, was bought up by American asset stripper Melrose and has been destroyed. GKN Driveline, who once made most of the fwd driveshafts for the entire world, will shortly be no more. Still we seem to keep going, but I watch all this with dismay. Morrison’s Supermarket is reckoned to be the next, it owns most of its stores, plus bakeries and farms and its own warehousing. Ripe for buyout and strip? You bet. Short of turning totalitarian, I see no way to stop it, but I can’t say it delights me. There are many other facets of modern life about which I hold views just short of disgust, not least the universal deification of talentless “celebrities” but I have better things to do with my time today than continue this diatribe. -- Last edit: 2021-09-11 16:53:38 |

Where are the candlesticks? It needs them to complete the naffness quotient. -- Last edit: 2021-09-11 18:19:08 |

Odd front - no wing top indicators as I've mentioned above, but single headlights. So a full front view would look strange mix of elements, which might be possible to pin down to a specific tweaked car. Keeping it as SC3 for the moment, but less secure than it was when first posted. |
