Equipment

Lefthand Drive. A C added, hubcaps, trim rings, whitewalls, fog lights, dip beam lights, sealed beams inside big Lucas headlights, fender minors, rollup division, bar, tables, automatic. Flawed old restoration with plenty of use. Paint and interior are sound. Chassis and engine are aged, used and dirty. The Arthur movie Rolls.

Market commentary

Youd think the appearance of this car in the movie Arthur (1981, starring Dudley Moore, Liza Minelli and John Gielgud) has dimmed to insignificance in collectors collective memory, but it apparently has not in light of the handsome result this bulky and well used Silver Wraith brought. The owner was smart to take the money.
