Equipment
Wheel covers, whitewalls, dual wing mirrors, landau bars, newer Blaupunkt stereo, free-standing Marchal headlights.
Condition
6,555 miles from new. Some restoration work underneath. Lightly cracked weather stripping. Some rub through on the hood and a little light cracking on the roof. Good older interior. One of two with this James Young body. Ordered new by Dr. Sam Scher, one of the pioneers in what we know today as concours-quality restoration. He had the car further modified at FLM-Panelcraft with the landau bars in place of the side windows and the rear window reduced in size. Not a show car, but a very special and striking body style that's more than presentable enough as it sits.
Market commentary
Any automobile connected with Dr. Sam Scher is important if only from the association. He showed himself in the early 50's to be a man of good taste and discernment (if not entirely forthright with the IRS.) The survival of this car is exceptional, as is its elegance and style. It will be respected by Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts and its price reflects its history, low miles and condition.
