Sunbar ◊ 2008-02-10 13:16	Unfortunately, other than this scene, I only found screen captures of close-ups.
wickey ◊ 2008-02-10 14:04	close ups could help at least to identify coachbuilder

oddsox ◊ 2015-04-04 20:06	Sunbar wrote Used also in Season 3, Episode 7 of Poirot, The Double Clue (1991) then is this a plate match? BYW 462 ep 3.07 @ 7:00, last thumbnails begin at 43:50. Quite the elegant ride, n'est pas? -- Last edit: 2015-04-05 01:27:35
oddsox ◊ 2015-04-05 19:14	in episode 3.09, "The Theft of the Royal Ruby," this Rolls belongs to a character modeled after Egypt's King Farouk. The young king would have been still been a teenager in the late 1930s. David Suchet's portrayal of Poirot bears resemblance to the real-life Farouk in his 30's. Known for his lavish lifestyle and Euro-shopping sprees, Farouk's favorite car was said to be a 1947 Bentley Mark VI, with coachwork by Figoni et Falaschi. (haven't been able to find a photo of this car) To further the plot parallel, he also once owned the 94-carat "Star of the East Diamond" King Farouk I -- Last edit: 2015-04-05 19:47:13
robgeelen2 ◊ 2015-05-11 00:40	As permy earlier post, this a 20/25 not a Phantom II

Link to "www.classiccarratings.com" From the front, yes, from the rear, yes, from the side, oh dear, they got the proportions so wrong.
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2018-07-07 00:07	Fashions change, although this was the only Figoni bodied car it wasn’t alone in these approximate proportions. Take a look at thirties American business coupés, they show this trend. My personal dislike is the low set headlights. BTW, I can find no reference to ex-King Farouk in the details of this car, it’s first owner is named as “J Rodriguez” and its country of delivery as France, which would fit with Figoni whose works were in Boulogne-Sevre, Paris. Perhaps Rodriguez was a nom-de-guerre to conceal Farouk. -- Last edit: 2018-07-07 00:14:43
the sad biker ◊ 2018-07-07 00:18	It looks to me as though the coachbuilder priced by the yard and the buyer wasn't very rich, needs to be at least 4' longer and a lower roof line (stretching might help that). A Triumph Mayflower with flared arches.
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2018-07-07 12:26	http://www.rrab.com/apr98.htm How about this then! Freestone and Webb for heaven’s sake. Originally supplied to Ronald W Mitchell of Rochdale, and possibly used by “our Gracie”. The gramophone was clockwork, the only way to make them, the music was so much better. -- Last edit: 2018-07-07 12:29:18
