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 original 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 (original) tea service and picnic set housed in the rear compartment footrest. Unique coachwork intended as an owner driver limousine, without a division and with the front compartment as luxuriously trimmed as the rear. A stunning automobile.
Market commentary
The most expensive car of the Richard Solove Collection at Goodings Pebble Beach auction in 2007, selling for $2,970,000 to John OQuinn. This result is almost beyond belief, more than double its price just five years ago, but it is a singular Rolls Royce, with a famed history and magnificently equipped. A benchmark sale.
