Oh my!

Oh my!
Yes, I wonder what Rolls-Royce thought about it?
Bet they didn't offer to market it...
Looks like a Scootacar Mk2 with Rolls Royce front ???

Well, yes it is ;) But this car had a specific name...
So, is this the precursor to Aston Martin Cygnet?
:D
Movin' up
It is the Rolls-Canardly Silver Spoon, a fake seen in a Small Car issue from 1963. The article announced BMC took over both Rolls-Royce and Scootacar to create this car.
So it is! An April Fool's prank ...
That's great. I have an old (c.1980) birthday card somewhere that references the name "Rolls-Canardly":
"It rolls down one hill and canardly [can hardly] make it up the next!"
:lmao:

It goes back much further than that...
It was an old joke I remember from the 1950's, and it probably goes back much further than that too, but I don't...!
