Evidently when that Rolls was built the cost of it was in comparison 4 times what it would have been today, i.e. a £250,000 Rolls today would by comparison cost £1,000,000!

Are you saying that it was Veyron-esque in that it was more expensive to make than sell? Or that it would cost 4 x more to build today if the same practices were applied?

No, I mean by comparison to the rate of inflation, it cost four times more to buy in 1934 than it would today.

What was the big Austin with the RR engine?

Vanden Plas Princess 4 litre R.
Looked like a big Cambridge and rusted quicker than the speed of light.
