There was a plan to make a small four cylinder engine immediately Post-WWII but it was "not considered appropriate" by the board. Here are the engine sizes for Rolls-Royce models (which also apply to the equivalent Bentleys). Model Capacity Configuration Silver Ghost 7.04/7.43 litre 6-cyl New Phantom 7.67 litre 6-cyl Phantom II 7.67 litre 6-cyl Phantom III 7.34 litre V12 Phantom IV 5.68 litre 8-cyl Phantom V 6.23 litre V8 Twenty HP 3.13 litre 6-cyl 20/25 HP 3.67 litre 6-cyl 25/30 HP 4.26 litre 6-cyl Wraith 4.26 litre 6-cyl Silver Wraith 4.26 litre 6-cyl Silver Dawn 4.26/4.57 litre 6-cyl Silver Cloud I 4.89 litre 6-cyl Silver Cloud II 6.23 litre V8 Silver Cloud III 6.23 litre V8 Silver Shadow I & II 6.23 litre V8   Roy Tilley (202.27.176.157) Posted on Saturday, 21 September, 2002 - 19:13:    Respectful correction please. Only early Shadow I's had a 6230 cc engine. Late Shadow I's and Shadow II's had a 6750 cc engine as did all the later cars, Spirits, Spurs etc. until the Seraph.   RROCA Web Site Administrator (144.137.127.76) Posted on Saturday, 21 September, 2002 - 21:45:    Thank you, Roy, for that correction.
