For the PhIII , I am not sure ,but the radiator was tilted !
And Brandone was used to modifying body of the others coachbuilder

I love Cannes, but if the effort of Brandone is limited to putting polished wheel discs on a car, in this case they can hardly be called the coachbuilders, don't you think?

Amazing car, and its identity is also amazing. I am very interested in your source, as this car is listed elsewhere as bodied by Heinrich Buhne of Berlin for Baron von Alvensleben as a second body on a 1932 Rolls-Royce 20/25 chassis with slanted radiator to the front. (German Automobile Coachwork by C.Benter and H.Schrader, 1976). It is certainly not a Phantom III as the radiator is positioned after the front axle, and the Phantom III would have it much further forward.

I agree. In Ulrich Kubisch's book "Automobile aus Berlin" is a whole chapter about Buhne where the #6700 picture from the Buhne archive is shown.

Same problem with Delahaye and Talbot Figoni modified by Brandone !!!
