Our business manager and I are having a debate. Is this a Rolls?

Never seen a Rolls that looked like that. Hood figure doesn't look quite right either. It looks like a Jap or Chinese car. I've seen the gill before, but my memory files have corrupted with age. Not a Rolls in my opinion.

sad if true, looks more like a big Kia to me. Anyone can imitate that ornament tho and it is a bit of a long shot. Plus that grill is seriously simple, basic and almost 50s. Kinda reminds me of a Studebaker grill.

I held my ground on it not being a RR (quality was lacking, paint job didn't have the right lustre, and that figurehead looked too simplistic to be a real "Lady") but the Khmer guy argued it was. Wasn't sure I'd it was an Asian special of some sort.

Oh, also, no RR badge or model number...

Could be wrong, but I don't think Rolls Royce does a cross-hatch grille.
And those are some pretty boring, prosaic lines on that body.

If its custom kit, it's not bad - just not convincing.
