Equipment
Single rear enclosed spare, body color wheel discs, blackwall tires, Lucas headlights and driving light, trafficators, leather interior.
Condition
Exceptional coachwork with helmet-style fenders, no running boards and a low razor-edge blind quarter roof. Specified and first owned by Sir John Leigh. Concours restored in the early 1990s and meticulously detailed, it is still concours quality. Beautiful interior wood. Upholstery is slightly stretched but otherwise flawless.
Market commentary
Sleek, svelte and imposing, this is one extraordinary Rolls-Royce, no less because of the exceptional restoration now over twenty years old but still concours-ready. The consignor didn't really want to sell, but at this price it made eminent good sense.
