Steve B Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 If possible I could do with some help with identifying this rolls royce, I have searched the web using the reg number etc but still don't have a definite ID..I was pretty sure that it is a rolls royce silver wraith...but I cant see shape of the back of the car from this image and the layout of the lights look slightly different.. The annoying thing is that I normally try and photograph things like the bit of paper in the window which probably had the vehicle details on it...but on this occasion I missed it.. Thanks for any help, Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Norwood Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I don't think it's a Wraith, it's too early. I'm sure you've tried the DVLA website that puts its manufacture year as 1932. I think it might be a 20/25, but that's just a guess! RR cars from that time were sold as a chassis with running gear and they were then sent to a coachbuilder to have a body fitted, so the bodies were all different. Where was it taken?

Thanks for the reply Sue, it could possibly be a 20/25... still not sure so will keep looking. Where was it taken?......outside of west dean college during a xmas fair.. A getaway car from Downton Abbey?As a getaway car I recon it would be alright in a straight line but not much good round corners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnie5 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I found a similar car here and this should answer most of your questions. http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C347409 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Norwood Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Ah, I did a very enjoyable short course there a few years ago and I love West Dean Gardens. Just found this http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C396009 but see I've been beaten to it! Same car, same chassis number but different registration number.

Just found this http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C396009 but see I've been beaten to it! Thanks very much Sue...west dean is a lovely place also the weald and downland is worth a visit... I see you are from Surrey and have some Haslemere / Hindhead images in your port... I was born in Haslemere and lived in Fernhurst, so did my drinking in all of the Haslemere pubs ( and there is a few of them ) back in my youth before moving down to the sunny south coast... I do miss the Fernhurst / Haslemere area sometimes but cant imagine it was the same as it was before I left at the beggining of the 80's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Norwood Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I've lived in Hindhead for the past 20 years but I was born in Slough. I love it down here, lots of open space...
