The Trolls Royce will cause Anarchy In The UK

Rolls Royce, the world standard for luxury cars since the dawn of motor cars, are just one of those cars you just don't mess with. Modifying them is a serious taboo, but that did not matter to one American who has turned it into the off-road "Trolls Royce".

Corbin Goodwin took a stock 1978 Silver Ghost II and turbocharged the stock 6.75L V8, hacking the body up to fit piping, then adding a 4speed manual from a Ford pickup. With 4x4 suspension and tyres the 400hp brute looks ready for Whacky Races.

While it isn't something we would build, we would love to have a steer!

A love of classic American and European cars drove Iain Kelly to motoring journalism straight out of high school, via the ownership of a tired 1975 HJ Holden Monaro.  For nearly 20 years he has worked on magazines and websites catering to modified late model high-performance Japanese and European tuner cars, as well as traditional hot rods, muscle cars and street machines. Some of these titles include Auto Salon, LSX Tuner, MOTOR, Forged, Freestyle Rides, Roadkill, SPEED, and Street Machine. He counts his trip to the USA to help build Mighty Car Mods’ “Subarute” along with co-authoring their recent book, The Cars of Mighty Car Mods, among his career highlights.  Iain lends his expertise to CarsGuide for a variety of advice projects, along with legitimising his automotive obsession with regular OverSteer contributions. Although his practical skills working on cars is nearly all self-taught, he still loves nothing more than spending quality time in the shed working on his project car, a 1964 Pontiac. He also admits to also having an addiction to E30 BMWs and Subaru Liberty RS Turbos, both of which he has had multiple examples of. With car choices like that, at least his mum thinks he is cool.
