According to Rolls-Royce Foundation records, chassis number GX03 was sent to Park Ward on June 28, 1929, to fit its original coachwork, an enclosed limousine body, to the order of H.T. Turner, Esq. Sometime later, in the 1950s, the car was sent to Alpe & Saunders, a prominent hearse manufacturer in Kew, Surrey, between 1937 and the mid-1960s. Alpe & Saunders was responsible for this unique and stylish shooting brake body, essentially a comfortable British station wagon intended for carrying passengers and dogs on the hunt.
