Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Nickel trim, CAV lighting, etc. Numerous paint cracks on the bodywork. Some scratches on side window glass appear to have been done while sanding window frames for revarnishing. One of the most important Silver Ghosts, not only for its survival with its origil body and engine but also because it is recognized by millions as the prototype for the Corgi model car. Wonderfully restored and equipped with lavish accessories and accoutrements including a complete (origil) tea service and picnic set housed in the rear compartment footrest. Unique coachwork intended as an owner driver limousine, without a divider and with the front compartment as luxuriously trimmed as the rear. A stunning automobile. Richard Solove Collection, proceeds to Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center. No Reserve.

Market commentary

This is the most expensive of the Solove Silver Ghosts offered today, with all the proceeds going to the James Cancer Research Center at The Ohio State University, and it deserves to be. There isnt another one even remotely comparable.
