This is a Rolls Royce, but what is its story (model and coachbuilder of course)?

Hmmm, I'm having trouble distinguishing it from this one,



Apart from the driving mirrors it looks identical, and those could be market (UK vs. US options). Looks like that central windshield antenna was a 1957-58 design element making it a Silver Cloud I.

Sorry CrzRsn, as this is autopuzzles, nothing is what it seems, It is a rolls and it  looks like a silver cloud but it is not one of those.  I can give you a clue, it is a rebodied Rolls.

Sorry the base car is not a Silver Wraith, it is earlier than 1954 and neither by James Joung.

Hmmm. Ok, question time. Is that marking on the front fender just by the door the coachbuilders signature badge?

It looks like a 1953 Silver Cloud, but the coachwork from the B-post back has cues of the Mercedes 300 of the same era. Is it by a German coachbuilder? The right-hand-drive confuses the issue a bit, though... ???

A 1953 Silver Cloud really would be unique!

Mr. Serra, this is one of the best works of your namesake Pedro Serra (maybe family of you?, Spanish coachbuilder based in Barcelona. The vehicle is a Rolls Royce Phantom III of 1937, its owner Count of Mayalde, then mayor of Madrid, asked him to be converted in 1957 as a Silver Cloud style.
