Equipment
RHD. Polished wheel discs over freshly painted wheels in body color, single sidemount with wheel disc but a very old, cracked tire, luggage rack. Reportedly used by Rolls Royce for testing on the Riviera, presumably with C.H. Rolls in attendance. Recently freshened with paint, interior and some cosmetic work, otherwise a clean but well used old Rolls.
Market commentary
Offered by Ace Rosner at Christies at Pebble Beach in 2002, then at Bonhams RROC auction in Newport, RI in 2003, both times no saleing at $85,000. Sold to the current owner by Mark Smith in the mid 90s with subsequent cosmetic and mechanical work. This is hardly a concours car, but will be a very satisfying Rolls Royce for tours and R R events where its Riviera Trials history will be appreciated. It is well worth what was paid for it here.
