He's taken a lovely, well appointed Vanden Plas Princess - a beautiful car in its own right - and turned it into a grotesque RR pastiche, which would make one of those Mitsuoka freakmobiles look classy!

I have to doubt it was done by an Engineer, but if it really was a Rolls Royce Engineer, I suspect their expertise was in gas turbines.
