Equipment
RHD. Jump seats, sliding divider, Bleriot opera lamps, CAV head and side lights, dual sidemounts. Excellent older paint, interior and combition of nickel and chrome. A very high quality restoration of an elegant and luxurious car. This is the origil body but for many years it was treated as a limousine. Richard Solove discovered that it was in fact built by Barker as a Landaulette and it has been restored that way by Steve Litton. Richard Solove Collection, proceeds to Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center. No Reserve.
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. This is an intriguing story of automotive sleuthing, with a satisfying result in uncovering and restoring the origil folding landaulette roof. Even taking this into account, though, and factoring in the superb restoration, this is a generous price for a formal bodied Silver Ghost.
