Equipment
6230/220hp V-8, Hydra-Matic, wheel covers, whitewalls, Lucas driving lights, suicide rear doors, wood dash and window trim, power glass division, mini bar with crystal and decanters, footrests, power windows.
Condition
Notch-back formal bodywork by Mulliner before being merged with Park Ward. Paint cracks at the top of the B-pillars. Small cracks at the front of the driver door. Long, light scratch on the left front fender and a small scuff further up ahead of the wheel. Lightly scratched front bumper. Slightly wavy body sides. Very good interior and excellent wood other than cracking around the power window switches and cigarette lighters in the rear. Other than a repaint on the lower half of the body it's original. A gorgeous coachbuilt Rolls that reveals forgivable flaws only upon close inspection.
Market commentary
For an automobile produced in such minuscule quantities there have been three PVs across auction blocks so far in this year, all with limousine bodies although by three different bespoke coachbuilders. It is even today the ultimate in luxury and its condition despite a few faults is exceptional. Its result falls in the middle of an $82,500-$140,800 range which is appropriate if slanted toward good value for its rare body style.
