Renault Dauphine or Ondine base?

WayneB · December 27, 2013, 10:40:32 AM

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

SACO · December 27, 2013, 11:03:37 AM

Not a Bentley Mk.VI !

WayneB · December 27, 2013, 12:50:30 PM

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

SACO · December 27, 2013, 01:52:55 PM

Yes ! Rolls Royce Silver Dawn !

Locked for you !

SACO · December 29, 2013, 02:22:46 AM

Unlocked !

WayneB · December 29, 2013, 11:52:10 AM

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

SACO · December 29, 2013, 04:39:48 PM

You can find the red car on the Internet !

WayneB · 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

SACO · December 30, 2013, 01:31:07 AM

Nothing to add !
Another point for WayneB !

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.

WayneB · December 30, 2013, 09:56:19 AM

The boot (trunk lid) and rear also reminded me of the Silver Shadow.

Yes, you're right - that rear panel is very similar!

What's this, by whom, from when - for 1 point?:

It is a Rolls, yes, but nothing to do with a Silver cloud or Silver Shadow (apart from that bootlid!)

richard cuyler · February 15, 2016, 08:16:03 AM

Is it on an RR chassis earlier than the Silver Cloud?

Yes, that's right!
So I'll lock it for you until your next reply to see if you can get to the bottom of it..
