Condition
#1 Concours
World-class. Could compete in the world’s best Concours d'Elegance events.
Owned for decades by Joe Loecy who created this replica of the original Barker body. Refreshed in the early Naughts by Steve Littin, class winner at Pebble Beach in 2007. Original engine. Excellent fresh paint, interior, wood and nickel brightwork. A concours restoration with no evidence of any appreciable use. Known as the 'Silver Fairy'.
Market commentary
The reported high bid here is really close to the pre-sale low estimate, a strong indication that it could well have moved on to a new owner for the reported bid. It is a gorgeous Ghost, but the reproduction coachwork, even reproducing the original body, limits its appeal.
