This brief shot of the front made me think differently, though. Even at one time the main character remarks a CIA agent for driving around in a Rolls and wearing a Stetson.![[Image: 215464-mplayerc 2010-01-16 22-30-06-56.jpg]](http://www.geting.se/viewimage.php?image=215464-mplayerc 2010-01-16 22-30-06-56.jpg "http://www.geting.se/image.php/215464-mplayerc 2010-01-16 22-30-06-56.jpg") But I guess this is one of the cases where they fit the Bentley with an RR grille in order to make it look more prestigious and recognisable for the public. I really don't understand why. For example: /vehicle_7742-Bentley-S-Type.html or /vehicle_32306-E-Z-Go-Rolls-Royce.html LOL |

Hahaha, it's nothing special! Member of my automobilclub, Mr Roszkiewicz, has white fake RR Silver Cloud -> Bentley S2 with Rolls-Royce grill in true. :P He bought car in this form. Why people transform Bentleys to RRs? Because RR trademark is bestseller on "marriage industry". .gif ";)") -- Last edit: 2010-01-17 17:42:48 |

There was no "S2" badge ever fitted to the Bentley S2. If you look carefully at the badge you will see that it says "S3", which is confirmed by the twin headlights shown in the front view. The car cannot therefore be earlier than 1962, and should be described as 1962+ Bentley S3 disguised as RR. I have checked this information in "The Rolls-Royce and Bentley Volume 1 Standard Production Models" by Graham Robson, published by Motor Racing Publications in 1984. I have an R-type Bentley and have been a member of the Bentley Drivers Club for 26 years. In England RRs are for the nouveau riche, old money buys a Bentley, or, more likely, a Volvo estate. -- Last edit: 2010-01-17 22:01:16 |
