Condition
#1 Concours
World-class. Could compete in the world’s best Concours d'Elegance events.
This extremely desirable Alpine Eagle edition of the Silver Ghost makes huge impact with its bold Aubergine Million-Guiet coachwork. Completely immaculate show standard paintwork on every surface. The wheels and even the hub knock on large nuts are perfect and unmarked. The running board rubber surfaces are clearly new and of the highest craftsmanship. The black hood cover is slightly faded with cotton threads hanging, a minor point. The rounded wood hood bars are new and superb. The alloy dash has the most wonderfully engine turned swirls. The French-language instrumentation looks original. The green seat leather is of the highest quality. Rear passengers are not neglected with the rear drinks cabinets having a full set of art deco accoutrements. The chassis and engine are pristine throughout. From top to toe this is the best presented car here.
Market commentary
The coachwork history of this spectacular Rolls-Royce is not clearly described in the various cataloging but has been confirmed by David Gooding as a Tourer originally bodied in Paris by Million-Guiet. The Million-Guiet Tourer body was rebuilt with expert guidance during its meticulous restoration preserving as many original features as possible. It is a magnificent example and almost too beautiful and pristine to be toured, a concours-ready Rolls-Royce for a concours-level price.
