Thank you Peter.

You are going to tell me you was not driving and taking pictures at the same time were you...

Ghosty.

I have not even seen this thread before, probably because I was extremely busy at work when it was started in the first half of 2015.

As I have taken pictures of more than 600 Rolls-Royce cars over the years, I could contribute much more than I will ever have time for, but I will concentrate on examples with Austrian licence plates and post a few every now and then.

This is the oldest Rolls-Royce with an Austrian plate I have ever seen: a 1924 Rolls-Royce Twenty with a body by Cunard - picture taken at the Meggenhofen vintage car gathering in 1996:



Its former British registration was RA 5742.

This one participated in Meggenhofen in 2010, and unfortunately I do not know any details about it.

The same car twenty-one years apart - a picture from 1986 and one from 2007, showing old and new style Austrian licence plates:





1935 Rolls-Royce 20/25 with a body by Hooper.

Again Meggenhofen 1996: a 1925 Silver Ghost made by Rolls-Royce of America in Springfield, Massachusetts:

This one used to reside in my hometown: a 1929 Phantom I with a tourer body by Wilkinson. Its previous British licence plate was UL 4859.

The first two pictures were taken by my father during a parade in 1982:





The same car offered for auction at a vintage car fair in Salzburg in 2012, thirty years later:



I always enjoy opportunities to once again see and take pictures of cars I have first seen many years before.

Thank's Christian for the contribution, its nice to see cars from parts of the World other than the UK.

Thank's Ritchie.

Looks like someone has not turned the lady before opening that bonnet panel and chipped the edge...

The westernmost region of Austria, Vorarlberg, is home to a museum exclusively devoted to Rolls-Royce Phantom I to III cars, located near the city of Dornbirn.

There are some seventy cars on display, and a visit is strongly recommended to anyone interested in Rolls-Royce. It is an absolutely breathtaking experience!

Unfortunately for the set goal of my postings here, most of the cars displayed feature either British or no licence plates at all. Just this one wore an Austrian plate when I visited the place in 2014:
