- Date of first registration: January 1956
- Year of manufacture: 1956
- Cylinder capacity (cc): 4887 cc
- Vehicle colour: Blue
The license plate "A" suffix was first issued in the second half of 1963. It is possible that the car, manufactured in 1956, was first licensed in the UK with a different license plate - maybe a "personalised" one. Or it is possible that it was first licensed in an rhd export market. England was bankrupted by World War II and in 1956 was still bobbing along more or less above the waterline on US loans, guarantees and goodwill (and please don't mention Suez); so there was continuing pressure on Rolls Royce to export cars to those countries where people with enough money were wiling to buy them. (Australia, South Africa, New Zealand or one of various smaller ex-empire countries such as Malta would be possibilities in my rather uncertain - on this point - opinion.) Recently, when cars have been re-registered following mid-life importation to England, the English authorities retrospectively allocated license plates appropriate for the year when (the owner tells them) the car was first registered in another country. But that is a recent development: I am reasonably sure it would not have applied back in 1963. Charles01 (talk) 08:26, 15 March 2019 (UTC) (aka the photographer)
