Original builder and the grille he fitted to it which Rolls forced him to remove on threat of legal action - allegedly after he blew past someone on the Autobahn who promptly phoned up Rolls to try and buy one. Doesn't look as good any more.

That two-door wagon look is classic! A great body style... Thanks for sharing that!

Chevrolet experimented with a V-12 for a Corvette back in the '90s:
