SOLVED: si_306 - Rolls Royce - Silver Wraith - by H-J Mulliner - 1949

The manufacturer should be a typical task for rookies. The type designation should also work, but who was the coachbuilder and when did he create this work? One point for a complete answer.

As no Spear Wheel is to be seen, I'll say it has to be post-war. So 1953 ?

Yes it is post-war, but before 1953.

It was 1949, but you're close enough to the solution to get the point. The origin of this puzzle was a sale advertisement from autumn 1970.
