t looks like an off road Rolls Royce Silver Ghost, and super badass. Does anyone have any idea what it is?

It’s a mashup of a genuine 1920’s rolls Royce mashed up with what some sources say is a 70 series land cruiser and others say is a defender. Used by Cottar’s 1920s Safaris in Kenya as an actual safari vehicle. I now need to go on this safari.

Found more, apparently from what I can tell it’s a custom mash up of a very old rolls Royce and a less old defender or land cruiser. Used for tours at Cottar’s 1920s Safaris in Kenya.

Yeah, I recall seeing it in some film actually years ago. Pretty cool. Exactly the kind of projects I would doing I had Leno garage resources.

Actually says “A vintage Ford Model A (refitted with a modern Land Rover engine)“

I didn’t think so either. I swear I've seen this before and I thought it was British.

Nice work!  Looked like Rolls bones to me but not entirely.

I immediately went looking for Rolls Military vehicles, that hood and fenders a quite distinctive... but nothing quite matched. Makes sens e since it seems to be a custom one-off.

Yeah I didn’t grab a link but in my research Cottar’s themselves refer to it as a Rolls Royce, so I’m going with them over the blogger.

S eems right, I do remember seeing an offroad Rolls from Kenya before they had Landys.

No idea, but here is another angle.

RHD, 4WD, 20-30s styling, but likely newer than that.

I’d say 70 series cruiser. That front axle looks more Toyota than Rover. Yeah those hubs are 100% Cruiser.

It’s a Rolls Royce owned by these folks.

Probably not, I am sh ooting from the hip when it comes to pre WW2 cars. A lot of them look real similar to me.

Six lug axles = Land Cruiser.
