Now a guy called Junkman posting on this forum..( http://imcdb.org/vehicle_70549-Rolls-Royce-Silver-Cloud-II-1962.html )says,
I never heard of a Cloud hearse being raced in Tipperary though,and i used to be up there alot at that time. Ill try and find out more.I know the car. Originally four were built by Duffy of Dundalk for the Dublin funeral home Stafford. One they used in later years as a parts donor to keep the other three running. The empty shell of that one was banger raced by myself at the 2000 (Millenium) Euro Weekend at Rosegreen Raceway in co. Tipperary and was arguably the only racecar in history to be sponsored by a funeral home.gif)
One they keep in pristine condition for speciality funerals. Two were sold to England in about 1997 (Date of liability?) and I believe this is one of them. I'm sure we can trace it exactly via the Classic Hearse Register. Only two other Silver Clouds were ever converted into hearses by Duffy, but that was done in the late 80s.

I got this from the August 2010 edition of 'Take five', the magazine of the Rover P5 club. Does anyone recognise the town where the pictures were taken? The Austin garage name in the inset picture is John E.Williams. Also the writer mentions that the DS420 was the only chassis to be sold to the republic, and both hearses were built by Mangans Coachbuilders, Co Offaly.
