johnfromStaffs ENEach to his own. You have also to acknowledge that the Mk 6 and R-type were not actually very large cars compared with either later models or things like the Docker Daimlers. 2012-10-13 21:25
Commander 57 USUsed in 1968 and 1969.
(They were reflectors by the way, not sidemarkers. They did not illuminate when the lights were turned on.)

rjluna2 USLooks like small sidemarkers :think: 2012-10-13 20:05

dsl SX@jfs - that 1951 Mk VI Hooper Empress in your link http://www.realcar.co.uk/cars_s227.jpg is a bit of an ugly squashed thing without much sense of proportion (looks like a deflated Daimler DS420) but I do like the full blown later Empress designs. 2012-10-13 17:04
johnfromStaffs ENThank you both for that information.

At least the car as currently configured has been given a more sensible ride height, a proper shape to its wheel arches, and the pimple removed from the boot lid. This must have been at the very end of Hooper's, if indeed they had a hand in it, and looking at some of the other later designs I think that they had lost their way by then compared with the elegance of the Empress design on the Mk VI and Silver Dawn and Wraith.

dsl SXLSGE466 is now apparently black, fully restored and has a concealed dickey seat with detachable 2nd windscreen under a smooth rear body without spare wheel outline - http://www.vantagemotorworks.com/en/PreOwned/CarDetail.asp?VehicleID=86 which includes phrases which jfs might not agree with, such as "A fantastic variant", "the restrained elegance and superb build quality of Mulliner are a credit to its original designer and the taste of the first imaginative owner", and "this work of art".

PS just found this Sunbeam Rapier lookalike by Freestone & Webb http://www.flickr.com/photos/14531705@N00/5428848867/ which seems to blow big holes in the idea that no "established British coachbuilder would let such a hideous travesty as this out of his premises" ....

robgeelen2 NLI was right. It is Rolls Royce Silver Cloud I Drop Head Coupé by H.J.Mulliner,chassis LSGE466, body 6165, design 7415/A, supplied to Walter Minskoff as late as April 1959. It is a two light (so no rear quarter windows), and kitted out like this with 'Hooper style wings and lights'. 2012-10-13 14:22
robgeelen2 NLI think this is an alloy bodied H.J.Mulliner convertible on a Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I chassis (which may even have started out as a S1)which has been augemented with a hint of a Continental Touring kit on the trunk and an adaption of the front à la Hooper. It warants further investigation, but, John, H.J.Mulliner did produce a number of adaptions on the insistent request of their customers which look like the travesty you describe... 2012-10-13 14:13
johnfromStaffs ENI cannot believe that any established British coachbuilder would let such a hideous travesty as this out of his premises. Whatever the coachwork is, it has been subject to such a degree of modification as to make the origins almost unrecognisable. I would suggest Messrs Cold-Chisel and Glassfibre did it. 2012-10-13 12:41
