Please identify donor. What I mean is that I'd need the original car plus coachbuilder and the name of the additional coachbuilder and year which this update was done! A difficult point is up for grabs!

The base car is a Rolls-Royce, probably a Wraith from 1938-39

Is the donor a R-R Silver Ghost from the 1920s?

Is this GKT37 (Thrupp & Maberly limousine rebodied with "experimental" saloon coachwork by Park Ward)?
