Equipment
Overdrive, dual sidemounts, whitewalls, Bausch & Lomb drum headlights, cowl lights and dual triple element taillights, trunk rack, Waltham clock, stainless steel exhaust.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Sound older repaint with emphasis on older. Good upholstery and brightwork. Orderly underhood. Ex-Bill Ruger, Sr., restored with new cylinder blocks by Frank Cooke, then driven on the 2003 European Alpine Tour. An attractive driver-quality car, but a Rolls-Royce driver.
Market commentary
Sold at Christie's Pebble Beach auction in 2002 for $128,500 before its most recent refurb, then offered at Gooding's Scottsdale sale a year ago and at the Rick Cole Monterey auction last August. This is a quality Rolls-Royce with significant Brewster coachwork that can hold its own wherever it appears and brought a realistic price.
