Market commentary
A remarkably well preserved and original example of one of Brewsters and Rolls Royces most attractive bodies made even more significant by its rare flush side body. It really deserves to be preserved as it has survived although the tattered leather upholstery will need to be replaced or at least carefully covered up under something usable. The price is in line with recent sales of similarly attractive and preserved Ascots but doesnt give appropriate weight to the unusual body features.
