No problem with parts availability with these things... Where's the reg from Mick

Quick check with "Today's County in the Spotlight Part 2" for the answer required ?

This product of Coventry was first registered in April 1935 in Glasgow.

and some contemporary promotional material at the time can be found here at classiccarcatalogue.com makes an interesting couple of minutes browse, particularly like me you like the language used to sell cars at that time.

It was hiding, so not the finest in focus photo's

I just dropped SWMBO off for her lunch meeting and spotted this in the car park!! Sorry about the slight over exposure, had to rush it before I was spotted

Managed a slightly better shot from the back:

: Over exposed own work

: Slightly better own work

I checked the car on the DVLA which confirmed it to be a 1936 Rolls Royce Phantom 3 in black!!! Hmmm!
MOT ran out in February but I'm sure it is exempt anyway!!

Rolls Royce weren't as shy as Carlsberg and proclaimed their car to be "The Best Car in the World"

Am I warming to Stellantis, maybe just a little, within its many diverse marques, as well as the most important, producing vehicles that are relevant to the here and now, I was pleased to retrieve this little bit of the heritage of the humble FIAT 126. I read it with interest as a bit of an extra bit of curiosity and finding out, arising out of my classic car spot and owner chat yesterday.

: Mercedes dont often get a second glance for me, especially the "modern" crop. On some older models I like the fishbowl headlights, and I like body coloured hub caps, and the Ponton is nice in a decent colour.

This one managed to get 2 shutter clicks today.

: Decent colour for the weather, well presented and top down, and enough chrome to spark a bit of interest.

: Probably a Bentley Type S Saloon

An e Reg E-type fixed head Coupe, not concours d'elegance, and the camera was out of battery as I lined up the photo, but always a head turner. The early pages of the Favourite colours for cars thread has an excellent gallery of the colours of E-types.
With the year 1967, the colour was probably the unexotically named "dark blue".

This is the E type colours gallery

I painted that 1928 Rolls of mine in Imperial Maroon (brush paint Tekaloid) but the American in San Francisco I sold it to had it repainted Midnight Blue with black leather upholstery.

The E-type in Imperial Maroon is a sight to behold
