A '39 Rolls Royce project found me the other day. This is a car I know very little about. Any Rolls fans here?

Yeah.

What does this monster look like? Has it any traceability? A lot of the Rollies of that era were one-off coaches on Rolls chassis. Photos?

Always been a fan, just never been able to afford one. It would be nice to see some pictures. Are you sure the Rolls found you?

Tje story goes like this:
Thirty five years ago a friend of mine obtained this body, along with a complete hearse bodied car for someone he knew. The idea was that they would put the saloon body on the hearse chassis. No go, it was not a good match. The guy kept the hearse and sold the extra body. The saloon body resurfaces this year and my friend gets it back. It is a complete body, front fenders, hood, grille etc. It needs a chassis. It could be a Rolls chassis or "something else". It seems like something like this would not be a good fit with a modern american V8, but maybe something more fitting like a Jaguar V12. I will make arrangements to go see the body and take pictures.

I have a Jaguar Mark VIII chassis that might be able to serve as the chassis for the RR. It has a 120 in wheelbase. I got the car from another member of the forum and one other car which I plan to make one working MK viii. You would need a motor, but at least if the body fits the motor/trans etc should be bolt in.
