The Merlin/Meteor 27 Liter Roadster by Retro Coachbuilders
One of the greatest and most legendary aero engines of all time the Rolls-Royce Merlin V12 and it's land based version the Meteor. An engine that can trace its lineage all the way back to the Rolls-Royce R
aero engines of the late 1920's, powering the Schneider Trophy racing planes like the iconic Supermarine S.6. Now this 27 Liter V12 marvel of engineering that once power Spitfire fighter aircraft and as the Meteor tanks, it is now fitted to power this timeless one-of-a-kind Rolls-Royce.
Creation & Design of the
Merlin/Meteor 27 Liter Roadster
Creating the Merlin/Meteor 27 Liter Roadster, starts with the preparation of the original pre-war or post-war Rolls Royce chassis of choice. Fitting the chassis with required modifications for the 27 Liter V12 engine including improved cooling systems, engine mounts, suspension and automatic gearbox. After the chassis is ready it is on to the coachbuilding! This is where skilled artisans handform the aluminum coachwork and craft the wooden body sections in a similar way to that of constructing the woodwork of a classic motoryacht.
The car is 100% custom for the client with bespoke interior, exterior and mechanical upgrades.
