Very interested in the Metallurgique that you owned Bernie. Was it a 12/40, Model S and is it still in Australia or is it the one that was in Brisbane and then went to England in the late 70's, early 80's. I believe that Barry Vinen in Melbourne has a few of this model but apart from a few earlier ones there does not seem to be any others around. Mine came from Stradbroke Island off Brisbane in the 70's. I part restored it at that time and then it went to NZ where it was finished off and used until I brought it back here about 4 years ago. When I can find out how to post photos I'll include one of the car. David 1923 Metallurgique 1931 Rolls Royce Phantom 2 Continental

No. Not even the dreaded red X, I'll have to get some lessons and try again later David 1923 Metallurgique 1931 Rolls Royce Phantom 2 Continental

Hi Bernie Sorry, no speedster photos but I did find this item in a re-printed publication called CARBOOKS, Volume 21, 1922 which lists all? cars avalible in 1922 as listed in the English Autocar magazine. It also lists the English agent as North Western Motors Limited, Mersey Chambers, Liverpool. Not sure how clear it will be or if it will even come out as I haven't tried to post photos on this forum before David 1923 Metallurgique 1931 Rolls Royce Phantom 2 Continental IMG_4724.JPG

Great restoration job Harry. I dont know how far you have got with your door handle search but you may like to have a look at this company from Brisbane, Australia, who reproduce many vintage car items including 27 & 29 Chrysler interior door handles.

Hi I live in Australia and I can assure you that hundreds of older cars are sent from the US to Aust every year and it is a relatively easy process. I engaged a local company with links to a US company to import a 40's car a couple of years ago from CA and apart from the cost for transport and fees it was very easy. Check with your local shipping/import agents and find out what is required in the way of paper work, import permits etc to bring a car into the US. There is a lot of import/shipping companies that advertise transport and documentation for cars US to Australia in the local car mags here so they must be able ship cars back to the US. If you need any names let me know. David
