Equipment
Automatic, wheel covers, Goodyear whitewalls, dual wing mirrors, badge bar, Lucas fog lights, boot cover, factory air conditioning, original Motorola radio, rear seat tables.
Condition
Three-owner car and one of a dozen original left-hand drive examples. Very good older paint and chrome. Even door gaps, the fit on the trunk lid is a little erratic. The RR badge on the rear bumper is scratched up. The trunk handle is scratched up as well. Very good interior with excellent wood. Ordered new by an East Coast socialite and spent many years on display at the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum. A few small flaws aside, this is a mostly fantastic older restoration of a very rare and desirably configured classic Rolls.
Market commentary
Very rare, desirable and valuable, this car was appropriately discounted for its age and flaws. It previously hammered not sold at a $525,000 high bid at RM Sotheby's Monterey in 2017.
