Market commentary
Sold for $134,500 in Sothebys auction of Ben Mosers collection in 1993, then for $240,512 after being restored in England in Coys June 2003 London sale. An intriguing story of automotive sleuthing, with a satisfying result in uncovering and restoring the original folding landaulette roof, helps the value of this car. It was sold at Goodings Pebble Beach auction along with several other Silver Ghosts from the Solove collection in 2007 for the generous sum of $1,155,000, then sold by RM in Arizona in 2012 for a more realistic $550,000. It is a storied Rolls Royce with a magnificent restoration, still in show quality condition, holding its value well.
