Name this car....


Recommended Posts

Rolls Royce or Bentley from 1980s?

(There was a group tour from the RREC at Morgan yesterday, though my cousin wasn't among them.  At least one Bentley in the car park and several very nice RR from 70s/80s :) ).

 

EDIT:  Missed the three posts above, so I guess that leaves Bentley?

Certainly looks like a T-series Bentley.

Spot on Michael.  It saved my life as the body roll was such that it was never driven quickly, so that when confronted with two trucks approaching side by side and on the wrong side of the road I had time to get off the road.  I posed this shot outside Government House when selling the car and used a PA-Curtagon to keep the verticals vertical:

What an elegant car.

This car, and its Rolls Royce brother, were/are very nice cars. If I lived in northern France, the UK or Ireland, I would look for a good example. In north America, the better choice is an S-class Mercedes, mainly because knowledgable service for older Mercedes is much more available than for Rolls Royces.

There is a YouTube video of an Englishman who bought a Silver Shadow on eBay, and after some mechanical refurbishments, drove it without incident to the Arctic Circle in Norway.

I do not have a collection of car pictures, so I invite someone else better equipped to go for the next shot.

A much larger crop, and clearly not an HS:

Well done Michael.  It's the '31 Blakhawk DV32, which had a v8, 32 valve engine, all new for '31, along with reviving the Blakhawk name in the hopes of fully reviving the company.  Stutz made high end sports and luxury cars, but they went out of business in 1935.  You can see a couple of I portent Stutz racing cars at the Simeone Museum in Philadelphia.  It's one of the most important collections in. North America.

Your turn
