Not so elegant, but very practical. 

(Lenin aboard? ) 

Yes, that is Lenin's Roller. Brezhnev was a fan as well, until one night and a bottle of vodka...

I quite like it when old separate chassis ones used to get modified in later life and repurposed for practical reasons- when they were old cars,  after all the OG rolls thing was to sort the body with a third party depending on taste and function, if not aesthetics…

An alternative use of RR chassis. Some of the armoured cars were built from scratch, others on old, existing chassis.

John Lennon's second Phantom, originally a nice distinguished black and green. He had it refinished in white inside and out so it looks like a low-rent wedding car. Proof that money can't buy taste.

 

Well, at least there's one plausible motive now.
