Summary

Originally, Rolls-Royce only sold chassis and left the bodywork to outside companies. This design also made it possible to body the same vehicle several times and adapt it to his personal requirements. This is exactly what James Scott did when he had a mobile smoking lounge built for himself and his chauffeur. It has survived to this day. This report describes the unique two-seater (with mother-in-law's seat) and shows it in many pictures.

Preview (beginning of the article)

More fog inside than outside was quite common when James Scott was traveling with his chauffeur in a Rolls-Royce. They both puffed on big cigars, and their car was equipped with some very special extras. In the middle of the 20th century, it was not uncommon for vehicles to change their bodywork several times in addition to their owner. Chassis construction, as favored by Rolls-Royce, for example, made it easy to separate the chassis from the body and thus to replace the body when it no longer suited the owner's taste or had become dilapidated due to age. The special bodies created in this way were mostly one-offs and are highly sought after by collectors today.
