Equipment
LHD. Dual sidemounts, dual windshields, drum headlights, luggage trunk. Body built in East Africa long ago and replaced the original Piccadilly Roadster body (now on mounted on S454 also in this sale) on this chassis. Good older paint and interior; fair nickel and chrome. Chassis aged, dirty and not restored. A cosmetically restored driver. Runs, but hasnt been used in years and will need re commissioning attention.
Market commentary
The practice of swapping bodies on Rolls Royce chassis started when the cars were new and owners sometimes had more than one body to use in different seasons. That tradition continues and, as the result of this transaction indicates, doesnt have much effect upon values. This will be a sound and very attractive car after some attention and is a sound value for the money, with some allowance for the value of the ex Frank Cooke Collection provenance.
