It was originally built with a Rolls Royce grill on the front if my memory serves me right. He was an auto gearbox specialist and built to promote his business.
I don't know if it was rebuilt as it suffered a fire on the Autobahn.

The Merlin engined Beast was fitted with a Rolls Royce grill but RR took him to court. He drove the car to court each day which got lots of publicity at the time. Unfortunately it also broke down a few times on the way
