This would be OK - too thin might not look right, but gotta be careful not to be too wide.
I was thinking about that line and how the first gen was meant to compete with the smaller more restrained Europeans, but the bustleback went full on neoclassic ostentation. It looks like in 1980 Seville Elegante based at 25K - dear. Just a little more than a MB 300D, but a 300SD would be around 30K then I think, and a 450SEL (only 2 S-class models for several years in the USDM, which created grey market demand) was maybe 40K. When the W126 debuted for MY 1981, a 300SD was closer to 35K, and a 380SEL 45K. Hard to compare, as the 300D was a smaller car, while an S-class was a level higher.

It's actually the chassis that is unusual - and it is a model with an engine arrangement unique for a Rolls..
The Daimler you posted is a 450DR, which was the limo version of the Daimler Majestic Major (great name!)
Daimler made about 800 of those mostly for the funeral / wedding trades (easy to mix the two trades up sometimes) and they also sold well to Government departments specially our Embassies
The 450DR was current circa 1960 - 65 I think.

I saw the Queen twice at close quarters
First time she was in a Phantom VI coming from the 50th anniversary of the end of WW2 which had been held in St Pauls Cathedral - and in that parade I also saw then vice president Al Gore as his entourage was directly behind - as were the loads of European VIPs too.
Second time was on a deserted Southwark Bridge during the 2002 Golden Jubilee - HM & the Duke of Edinburgh were in the state Bentley (which was new then) coming back from StPauls to avoid the crowds
Best thing we saw on that occasion was the flypast by Concorde with the Red Arrows - we were on Waterloo Bridge to see that ...
The RR I posted is one of the rare Phantom IV's - they only built about 20 and they were sold - apart from to our royals - to a number of other heads of state, though not always the most enlightened ones...
General Franco of Spain had three, King Idris of Iraq had one and I think another went to the Shah in Iran.
The Phantom IV was the only Rolls with a straight eight engine.
The actual car I posted was used by Elizabeth when heir to the throne, and is still in use now

Mcq's roadster is definitely a 300SL. I doubt he'd be caught dead in something as wimpy as a 190SL.

Can't miss the 60 Ford taxi, Fairlane or lower spec suiting a taxi (I think a Custom trim existed then).

The Patrician and Four-Hundred in '56 all had the full-length side trim. In '55 the side trim stopped before the rear quarters.
Bottom right 2 door Range Rover. Top left looks like a triumph dolomite.

Is this taken in Northern Ireland? - most of the cars are registered in the Province and the odd one out (which is PZP 92) is from Donegal - which whilst in the Republic is actually the northernmost county of the whole of Ireland..
I'm guessing Derry
I usually goof on bustleback Sevilles, but the ad fintail provided is as nice of one as I've seen. I especially like the seating. I've grown very tired of the lower seat cushion with multiple tufted buttons. Everybody used that to overkill IMHO.

It's surprising to see so many decade+ old cars

Ford sedan in the foreground beside the Range Rover is an 'Onslow" style Cortina.
I recall Chrysler really went nuts with the button tufting.

Only the '51 had the bright metal trim on the rear quarters moving towards the taillights.
RE.: that photo--I'm one of about five people I've ever known who likes '58 Fords, LOL.
