DynaMike ◊ 2008-12-18 15:55	I thought the small chromed grilles (well visible in the second thumbnail) identifies this as a II.
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2008-12-19 11:02	If you mean the small grilles behind the driving lamps on each side of the radiator, these are also present on the Silver Cloud I and the Bentley S1. I have checked this most carefully. See pages 74, 75 and 114 of the book "A collector's guide to the Rolls-Royce and Bentley: Volume 1 Standard production models 1945 to 1965" by Graham Robson. ISBN 0-900549-86-6.
DynaMike ◊ 2008-12-19 11:45	Those are the grilles I mean indeed. I think to remember (but have no written info about it) that these were non-chromed but painted in the first series.

DynaMike ◊ 2008-12-19 12:09	Quite convincing
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2008-12-19 12:19	I think we should just delete the 1 or 2 and call it a Silver Cloud Long Wheelbase Saloon. We don'tknow what retrofits the owners could have done over the years. -- Last edit: 2008-12-19 12:20:53

3loader ◊ 2010-06-21 23:30	Actually thats another Rolls in the movie. First was driven by BB and Cassel crash them. Later he crash another Rolls of BB's friend. Different color, different role. Here is 2 Rolls in the movie.
sixcyl ◊ 2011-10-11 13:35	Indeed, there's a III involved in another accident with this 2CV in which its bonnet is all smashed, while in the 1st the 2CV keeps intact only the Rolls wing being hardly hurt . This second Rolls-Royce is also owned by D.Ceccaldi in the film, but driven by him, not by his ex-wife B.Bardot (la poupée). The second acccident, happening the same day as the first, makes Jean Pierre Cassel having this funny reply: " A 2CV is much more solid than ONE Rolls eventually, but less solid than TWO Rolls" Link to /vehicle.php?id=442245#Comment1034299 -- Last edit: 2011-10-19 19:51:08

robgeelen2 ◊ 2011-10-20 17:31	Actually, there must have been three Rolls-Royce cars involved, as the pics showing actual damage also show a wider white sidewall tyre than the Silver Cloud LWB shown, and it most likely was an already damaged old Silver Cloud Standard Saloon....(or Bentley S1, for that matter).
