Couple of things I forgot to mention about the build. The lenses in the lights are from MV and the tires/wheels are resin pieces I got from Squadron (I forget the brand, though). So its not box stock.

Excellent choice of build, love this!
If you need pictures let me know, ive been around a genuine preserved vehicle & would likely have all the photos you need

Not in need of any more pics, but thanks.
I need to make one little correction to my original description of the build. It is not a RIC unit as I stated. I thought it was, but the ARR number indicates it is a vehicle of the Irish Republic. My original photos sources were not clear on this. A book I recently acquired set things straight, though. Both Northern Ireland and the Republic received identical Rolls Royces from the British.
