Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. CAV electric bell-shaped headlights, drum sidelights, dual sidemounts, rooftop luggage rack, sliding division, pulldown shades, jump seats, pullup rear windows.

Condition

A showy older restoration now showing its age and less attention and care than it deserved. The paint is scuffed, the nickel is generally sound and shiny but the radiator is suffering neglect. The chassis has more road grime than a vehicle of this class and elegance should. The upholstery, interior trim and interior wood are sound, not impressive. It's a lot of automobile, but it also deserves better care than it's had.

Market commentary

Offered here two years ago in 2018 where it was no-saled at a reported bid of $465,044, but this is a spectacular Rolls-Royce, best seen from the photos from the Grand Palais mezzanine where its style and colors are remarkable. Its formal coachwork is largely overlooked by today's collectors, as this result shows, but it's a magnificent Rolls-Royce and is a wonderful value at this price.
