Proper Hot Rods
Now these cars presented generally are not to the same calibre of personalisation, bespoke coachwork, or individualism associated with a Rolls Royce or Bentley car.
I am tossing up where to say they have more or less, as evidently much work has been conducted on these automobiles. How about I fence sit and just say the work is to a different calibre, different to that of standard coachbuilders.
Previously a Bentley Turbo R went under the knife here, so now lets take a look at some Shadows that did not come out of Mulliner Park Ward coachworks.
An unfinished 'Chop Top'.

Now for one that has a serious case of snow blindness as did this Bentley Turbo R before.

An other chop top, but this time a Corniche. This car actual did spend some time at Mulliner, before additional changed were made.

Some serious wheel arches. Are those 22" wheels on a Shadow?

Flames fit the vintage.

Now for a Bentley Corniche. Well this car actually started out as a Rolls Royce, but was changed to a Bentley. Probably not a Hot Rod, but still, it has a mesh grill that did not come with the Bentley at the time, and it looks cool. Similar to the new Brooklands.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLP16ZKsFXc59syiw1qbMqt2ne7LK7r-wOU10NxA-vBXCtXR6OQKjrs4vLCe3cWfmgblTELnRqzZYpRsx6lGrx5EKYU6v8qZ_QYoRClJwc3ziXNNOFSOHtHQp86XHyPH1hPAaD/s400/8.jpg)
Slightly more subtle, the colour coded bumpers actually look good.

Now for more of a surprise. No bumpers and horizontal vains like the very early cars. Its interesting.

The fact that it is a station wagon is even cooler.

I will add to this gallery as I come across Rolls Royce and Bentley Hot Rods. Keep sending in photos!
