BR Rolls Royce

[Silly Moo]

A friend of mine is a Rolls Royce fan and he spotted this Diecast model on eBay. He is intrigued by the BR logo on the car door. Does anyone know if there was a real car like this and who it belonged to? The model is made by Verem and is 1:143 scale. 
 

Thank you.

I assume that it's to 1:43 scale?

Oops! 1:43 scale

The emblem looks like cut down loco emblem, I wonder if some one has done it themselves (a 'code 3' I believe they're called). If it was based on a real one I'd expect the circular coaching stock emblem to have been used.

 

That said, I imagine BR would have had official cars, I recall the Chairman of the National Coal Board's official car had a vanity plate 'NCB 1'

I know of 2 Rollers used by high ranking officers.  EYV220 a Phantom III limo of 1937 used by Lord Rathmore of the LNER from 1941.

And PPJ999P a 1975 Silver Shadow for the Chairman, Sir Peter Parker.

Nothing like the model you have.
