Hi all,

Does anyone remember the days when a lot of trucks proudly sported a chrome and black plaque stating "Powered by Rolls Royce"?

Basically, I'm trying to track one down but the few that appear on ebay go for stupid money - like any RR memorabilia on there. There are too many brand new looking ones around for someone not to be remanufacturing them (IMO) - does anyone know of a source of these please? (I imagine there must be fair amount of vintage truck restorers after them)

If that fails maybe try trucknet.co.uk and go on the old time lorries section. I bet someone there could put you right.

You might want to look at Dennison Trucks, as some of these were powered by Rolls Royce too.
