Keep em coming Christian. This is quantifying the famous saying...''More than half of all the Rolls-Royce cars made are still on the road!''

Yes, but that's not only down to build quality. It's also because they tended to lead pampered lives.

Correct Hugh and the last car shown above was the first owner driver Rolls-Royce, something that did not need a chauffeur so the build quality from this point onwards would really be put to the test!

Hello Kevin !

I would like you to light us of your knowledge.

This picture is from Trouville and has been sent in 1956.

Do you know who is the Bentley coachbuilder ?

And what about what seems to be a Silver Wraith behind (maybe a Silver Dawn) ?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Stephane.

The Bentley is a Mk VI with coachwork by James Young and is a 2 door saloon/coupe from around 1947-48.
The Rolls-Royce is a Silver Wraith with H.J. Mulliner coachwork from around 1949-51.

Nice period picture, thank's.
