Equipment

RHD. Originally a Barker Torpedo, later Barker Limousine Landaulet. Millard Newman fitted this body from a Thomas Flyer in the 80s, restored by David Hemmings in UK to 1993 Pebble Beach and 1996 Meadow Brook class winning condition. Impressively detailed and appointed and in all but show ready condition.

Market commentary

This Rolls Royce is like a Tiffany case, a sparkling display of beautiful paint, brilliant nickel, luxurious materials and polished wood. The beveled glass and embroidered trim alone are delightful to behold. It is an object that is impossible not to covet, even though it is impractical for any purpose other than the manicured lawns of the finest concours, and unfortunately its already been to most of them. A spectacular Ghost that personifies class and style of a bygone era.
