rpcm PTThe rear window and the style of the roof identify, at least, a 3rd series introduced in September 1948. Nevertheless, it seems to have a white steering wheel, something that only the 1950 ( introduced November 1949 ) 4th series had.

Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith Park Ward Limousine [ELW9]
The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)
park-ward FRThe small photo shows a car which is still being used in the hire trade in Italy. It is a 1956 James Young saloon, chassis #LELW59. Like most late JY Silver Wraiths, it has oblong horn grilles. The large photo shows round horn grilles, so it is a different car. I'll try to research it too.
Got it ! it's chassis #ELW9, a PW limousine to design 703. This was not too difficult because it's the only one with a repeater on the wing. It is now in Holland, in the H. Bezemer fleet of hire cars.

1956 Lancia Aurelia Convertibile GT 2500 [B24S]
The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)
bigyale USTo correct the above: Both the Lancia Aurelia (the black car) and the Lancia Flaminia coupe (in front of it) have Pininfarina bodies, not Touring. But the Aurelia is not the "Spider" which had a wrap-around windshield and side curtains, but the "Convertible" with a traditional windshield and roll-up side windows. (See the discussion for "The Easy Life".) Approx. 247 Spiders and 526 Convertibles were made in 1956-58. (I own a black convertible, similar to the one in the film. Mine is on the Aurelia "5th series" platform; the one in the film looks to be a "6th series" from the trim on the trunk, but the photo is not very clear.)

junkman ATCarrozzeria Touring, who made the bodies for these Lancias, also supplied bodies to Alfa Romeo. From this angle they can easily be mistaken for one another. 2006-07-17 16:27

Sunbar UKFor me neither vehicle has the standard Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud body. Link to "www.frankdale.com"

If they are Silver Clouds, the extended front wing line on both vehicles and the boot/trunk area on the second image make both of them products of other coach-builders in my opinion.

mrcadillac SXAlfa-Romeo for sure (100%) but don't ask me what year or model. Probably Giuglia or Giuglietta convertible from around 1975 (30% sure). I'm more interested in the Rolls, at far right (probably a "Silver Cloud" from around the same era), which is shown below in a couple more caps from this movie. As you can see, this one does not have the small, amber, side-marker lamp on the front fender, that is clearly visible in the other image; so it is de3finitely NOT the same car. 2006-07-17 13:55

mrcadillac SXI agree with "Sunbar". These two cars are not one and the same. Oddly enough, the one that is supposed to be pictured in the USA features on th front fnders the small, round, amber marking light imposed by the Italian transport authorities (like the US "DMV"). On the other hand, the car supposed to be used in Italy does NOT have that marker light. I'm no Rolls expert but I believe both cars are "Silver Cloud" models of the mid- to late-seventies (50% sure). 2006-07-17 13:48

Sunbar UKI am not convinced the second picture is the same as the main one shown.

There appears to be a pronounced 'lip' around the front and rear wheel arches that does not look to be visible on the first Rolls-Royce. Also the downward sweep of the wing form into the front door looks to be lower on the first car. Not the same I think....but cannot help with identification of either.

DAF555 SEProbably the same car, even if first scene is supposed to be in the US and the second in Italy. The character owning the Rolls did not bring it to Italy.
