I did hear some years back of a company (maybe in unzud) who were putting rolls style grills on the front of cars. They got a very official cease and desist notice from Rolls Royce as the radiator shape is an identifiable part of their trademark.

Although it was meant to be in jest, and mayby even pays hommage to Rolls, they took it very seriously.


The one you are thinkingof was a UK dodgie car salesman who did his own line of luxury mini's , I have an artical here somewhere on him , most were on a normal mini shell though he did some with a 6 wheel stretched mini shell as well . This could well be one of his normal shell ones . Yes , he was taken to the cleaners by Rolls and changed the grille slightly but I think his history of dodgie deals caught up with him....
