Renault Dauphine or Ondine base?

Pretty sure its based on a 1950 Bentley Mk.VI , but as usual with your puzzles I cant find it !

Not a Bentley Mk.VI !

Must be the Bentleys sister Rolls Royce Silver Wraith or Dawn based then.

Cant find any info on the car on the internet, did you source the image from a book/magazine?

SACO · « **Reply #9 on:** December 29, 2013, 04:39:48 PM »

You can find the red car on the Internet !

WayneB · « **Reply #10 on:** December 29, 2013, 05:53:26 PM »

So you can

1953 Rolls Royce Silver Dawn, supplied new without body to Haracis Torrendell S.A. of Montevedeo Urguay for customer Jose Tellechea.

Chassis no. SDSMF72- Coachbuilder Inskip (possibly), currently in Luxemburg being restored.

I searched the hell out of this for 4 days, but for some reason found it today using exactly the same search terms

So that's where they got the idea for the side moulding on the Silver Shadow from!

A great find; it's amazing that there are still virtually unknown cars out there from such a well-known manufacturer.
