That's not an inappropriate vanity plate for a Rolls, considering that
many of the early ones you see were actually built in the U.S. Depending
on the year of the car, it could be a significant point. There was a
period, in the 20's I believe, when U.S. built and British built Rolls
were almost indistinguishable. Rolls even insisted that the U.S. built
cars be RHD so that they could claim that the cars were identical to
their counterparts from across the pond, and avoid any stigma that the
the U.S. built cars were somehow inferior.
