Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Chrome brightwork, double Elliott speedometer, eight note Cicca horn. Originally delivered to the British Admiralty in 1915 during World War II, restored and rebodied by Crailville, Ltd just a few years ago. Very attractive, sporting and characteristic coachwork finished to concours standards.

Market commentary

Offered by RM at Monterey in August where it attracted a reported high bid of $500K, it returned to Amelia with a much more reasonable estimate range and even then found a new home well under the low estimate. A largely reconstructed car with a new body and many replacement parts replacing items cannibalized over its years as a derelict chassis since the 1970s, it may not excite Rolls Royce enthusiasts for originality but is a beautiful, charismatic quality automobile for a very reasonable price. Well bought.
