Hi all

Ive recently moved and one of my neighbours showed me the attached pictures.
All the work was authorised by Rr and the badges and a few interior parts made by Rolls. He sold the car to a dealer in central london and after that was a mystery. The car wasnt allowed to be driven in london apparently, not sure why. Does anyone recognise it?

Interesting, thanks for posting.

 

This Rolls Royce Mini below used one of the RR Mini front ends which were one of Brian Luff's creations in the 1970's.......until Rolls Royce objected to the use of their grille, etc.
(Brian Luff was chief engineer at Lotus in the 1960's and produced the Status Minipower kit car)







Many years later BMW now owners of both Rolls Royce and MINI combined the two marques again but officially!
