Quelques photos supplémentaires :
"Silencieuse, elle passe"...
...rue de Rivoli...
... place de la concorde...

... devant l'arc de triomphe ...
... aux côtés d'une belle Mercedes coupé.

Un bel intérieur "beurre frais" !

A noter que comme sur cette Silver Cloud : /vehicle_3998-Rolls-Royce-Silver-Cloud-I.html
La "spirit of ecstasy" s'est envolée... (the flying lady is gone)

Peut-être est-ce la même que celle utilisée trois ans plus tard dans le dernier volet du triptyque "fantomas" : /vehicle_3245-Rolls-Royce-Silver-Cloud-III-1964.html
(It could be the same that this one, used in the same series of films three years later)

Les couleurs sont identiques, ainsi que l'interieur, et certains détails, mais les phares passent de jaune à blanc... (they both look the same, but the headlight's color is different)

Et puis, petit détail : la voiture n'est pas du tout garée de la même façon quand les passagers en sortent puis quand ils y rentrent... Le chauffeur à du faire ronronner le V8 en attendant le retour de son chef ! Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III in "Fantômas" (10)

Also both have the smaller over-riders which were fitted to some SC3s but not all. I'd still likre to know exactly why/when the different sizes were used - US cars always seem to have had the big ones, but other details uncertain. And same for Bentley S3.

This is a Royce, not some mass produced junk. You talk to the salesman and specify what you want. The choice of bumpers and over-riders could be made at the point of ordering by the customer. US customers, or the supplying agent, would probably go for the heaviest bumpers and over-riders because of the American penchant for competitive parking. Do not fall into the trap of imagining that Standard Steel saloons were standard beyond the “body-in-white” stage, they weren’t.

Not really arguing with your point that you could specify what you want when placing the order. But now, a few years after that comment there is a strong trend to pick up from our collection of SC3s and Bentley S3s that UK and Europe examples nearly all have small over-riders, with US and CDN always ending up with big ones. Can't remember what happens for places like Aus, ZA, HK etc - I did try to identify their patterns, but have forgotten the outcome.

But I think there was a default spec difference, as defined in my initial question which at that stage was a tentative observation, but now seems reasonably solid. It only applies to SC3/S3; SC1/S1 and SC2/S2 seem totally big over-riders, wherever they're found.

Almost certainly there would have been a default situation in the absence of a specific customer request, but reference to the build sheet of my car suggests the depth to which one could specify requirements. I still think that you are trying to impose patterns of behaviour where none exists.

Edit: - impose is the wrong word, “seek patterns.....”.

The car shown was the car of the French importer who often loaned their cars for movies to get exposure. It is completely standard, and it has the smaller overriders that were supplied on all cars bar some export markets like the Americas. Though available, few customers bothered to order different overriders, from the earlier series;in fact few even bothered to notice.

Cette Rolls 5702 NR 75 apparaît également brièvement dans le Tatoué (1968).
