Alexander ◊ 2006-10-22 23:44	wickey wrote 1929? thez were produced till 1926 in Springfield Yes, as far as I know between 1921 and 1926. The date is probably a remainder of the first entry, which was '20/25 hp'.

wickey ◊ 2006-10-23 00:30	indeed, RR had a factory in Springfield.. (I wonder whether Homer was aware of that..)
antp ◊ 2006-10-23 10:32	But is this considered as an American car just because of that?
wickey ◊ 2006-10-23 16:34	that is a good question.. I am not sure whether these US RRs were same specs as UK ones..
robgeelen ◊ 2007-01-30 13:57	The car has been altered to look newer: the radiator has been made higher and the mudguards have been closed further as per the fashion in the thirties. A common practice. The original body looks more English to me, but origins in the middle twenties. Right hand drive so more likely a British bult Rolls Royce than American. But Americanised with white wall tyres.
