Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Dual sidemounts, wide whitewalls, dual windshields. This Rolls looks like it was dipped, fully assembled except for the upholstery and top, in a vat of off white paint. It is white everywhere, thick and gloopy. It was put in a trailer before the paint cured and the tie down straps left their marks on the axles. If this wasnt used in filming Blake Edwards The Great Race driven by Tony Curtis and pursued by Jack Lemmons Professor Fate, it should have been. It is awful, despicable. Good Humor trucks have better white paint than this and on top of that its been sitting for several years and needs minor re commissioning.

Market commentary

Minor re commissioning This Rolls needs sympathy and a heavy dose of paint stripper, followed by all the mechanical work it has been denied in the last years, and probably many years before that. Unless the buyer has a compulsion to be The Great Leslie Gallant III this Roller is better used as a target in a pie fight.
