Have rolls royce ever made an estate car?

Somebody told me that rolls royce made two estate cars once, but I don't know if this is true.|||Rolls Royce used to make the chassis and engine and then turn the base over to firms of trusted coach builders and the customer could then specify what they wanted saloon. estate or special of their choice.|||Definitely not, no. Rolls-Royce is an ultimate prestigious brand and stick only to vast saloons. The current model range consists of the Phatom saloon, whilst a convertible version of this car is due on sale soon.|||i am preety sure that they did not as saloon cars are ones you only see?


but then i could be rong as they were built to order and not mass prodused like ford|||Coachbuilders did what they liked with RR chassis, as well as Hearses, Armoured Cars etc. Charabancs, small buses and Ambulances weren't uncommon... As late as 1940 Duple converted a Phantom I into an ambulance.





Park Ward Ltd (RR-owned coachbuilder) modified a standard Silver Cloud saloon body into an estate in 1959, here's a picture...|||Yes it was true Rolls Royce used to make the chassis engine and bulkhead the body could be supplied by a number of coach builders Cooper and Mullener for one.They also made armoured cars Lawrence of Arabia drove one. Mick UK|||They're probably custom coach built ones but you never know as Rolls Royce did build a lot of cars to order. A quick google found a couple of pictures - http://www.pestalozzi.net/sb/a_photo_ind鈥?/a>|||They used to make hearses
