Equipment
Electric overdrive, Firestone blackwall tires, sidemount spare on driver's side, Lucas headlamps, dual Lucas horns, locking filler cap, wheel discs, dip beam light, leather upholstery, vinyl top.
Condition
Very good chrome. Good frame. Lightly worn seats. Cracking interior wood. Inconsistent gaps. Well used engine bay. Rough respray with orange peel, drips, cracks and bubbles. Originally a factory trials car, it was also used as a sales demonstrator and even tested by Sir Malcolm Campbell before being featured in the magazine Autocar in August of 1933. A pretty car with some good history, but it's a shame about the paint.
Market commentary
It is somewhat surprising that this Rolls-Royce wasn't bid a little more -- it is a Continental, after all -- but equally surprising the seller and auction company didn't cooperate to see the deal done at the reported high bid.
