Thrilled by the success of its 1927/28 Riviera trials car, Rolls-Royce produced two further cars to identical specifications, down to its colour scheme of cream bodywork with polished aluminium bonnet, scuttle and wings and upholstery, which was in apple green leather. This car, the third, chassis no. 82OR, was retained by the factory until October 1930. The Rolls-Royce then led quite an adventurous existence, appearing in 1956 in Mombasa, Kenya. Reportedly, whilst in Mombasa, it was used to chauffeur Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh during a visit to the city.
The Rolls eventually passed to William Proctor, who sold the car in 1964 to Jack Porter, an American who would maintain it for 32 years. In 1997, the Rolls was acquired by enthusiasts from London. It changed hands again two years later and, after researching its history, decided to have the car painstakingly restored once more in the original colours. The result of the restoration is still spectacular today, just as it was when it earned the Lucius Beebe Trophy at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in 1999.
To find a pre-war Rolls-Royce that was specially built by the factory, for the factory, to show off the best of its efforts, is a remarkable opportunity. https://flic.kr/p/24EQTZk

Bianchi Tipo S2 Tourer - 1915 by Perico001 Coachwork by Schebera
The world automobile industry grew a lot between the end of 19th century and the First World War. Each important firm depended on the races to introduce their name and products; each one had in production sports cars and touring or formal cars.
The Benz firm was one of these companies and, beside the 15-liter and 21-liter racing cars and the impressive 8-liter formal cars, produced, just before the First World War, the 8 /20PS, a reliable touring car.
The car shown in the museum has an interesting story because it was ordered by an Indian Maharaja with this unusual and unique bodywork which joins the hand-worked nickel-brass bonnet, radiator and headlights to the Vienna straw details which decorate the mahogany side panels of the body, part of the interior and the large external luggage rack.
There was space for 6 people inside, thanks to the two folding emergency seats in the rear compartment.
The dashboard is full of instruments and the odometer has a mile scale; on the outside there is an air (horn) shaped like a boa snake, which was applied in later years.
At the beginning of the 60’s the car was fully restored with the technical assistance of the Daimler-Benz Museum; after being exhibited for over 20 years in two different American museums it was purchased by the Nicolis Museum in 2003 and has only 6.000 km on the clock from new.
