Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Skirts, fog lights, tool kit, power top, top cover, period radio, cloth half tonneau cover. Bought by Angelo Rizzoli, owner of Italian newspaper La Stampa in the late 50s, acquired by the present owner in the early 70s. Origil throughout except for seats recovered by the present owner early in his ownership. Carefully maintained, 70,111 km from new.

Market commentary

This is a real find and a great piece of Rolls Royce history. Cars of such origility and careful maintence are usually lumbering limousines. A stylish and elegant drophead like this is almost unheard of in such condition. Its a good buy in Euros and not unreasobly priced in US$.
