S1 or S2 SSS. I know about the air vent change, but don’t trust it. A couple of hundred quid and an hour’s labour to make the car look like the new model robs this of certainty. I only really trust sheet metal changes that would be very difficult to perform, even then, people have tried to put S3 front ends on S2s. -- Last edit: 2020-10-26 12:48:19 |

I'd like to be able to trust it, in much the same way as the headlight differences we've tossed around before. But for me the practical difficulty is that we don't have many examples where I feel confident to decide which format is present. Such as this one. |

Since this car is apparently abroad, despite being rhd, the headlights are almost certainly not the ones it had when it left Crewe. For some reason, possibly to preserve second hand values on Series 1 cars, Royces changed as little of the external appearance as possible, ie almost nothing, which does not help us years later. The only certain way to tell is to open the bonnet and look at the clockwork. I would support calling all the Standard and LWB Crewe built cars just S-type or Silver Clod, excepting the 3rd Series where changes are both more drastic and obvious. -- Last edit: 2020-10-26 15:21:31 |

If that is the original paint, then it can only be I.C.I. Blue Grey (9500442). That was only available later with the S2 and S3 models. That would make this car the S2. |
