One of only 49 left drive examples built from 1960-1962, this
aluminum bodied example of the coachbuilders art was first
delivered to Dr. George Westgate on 26, May 1960, finished in a
very elegant color layout of Medium Grey with matching Blue Grey
hides as it appears today. Dr. Westgate was also the owner of a
very elegant Style 7484 H.J. Mulliner Convertible finished to
match.
During the late 1980s after capturing the 1987 RROC National Award
corresponding to the plaque still on the dashboard, it found its
way to the stable of the highly respected UK sales amp; restoration
facility of P.J. Fischer who evidently carried out a high quality
cosmetic amp; mechanical review before selling it on to a careful
individual in Sweden, from whom it was recently acquired. The
kilometers per hour speedometer currently in place was required for
operation in that country. The odometer reading was 97,353 miles as
stated by the seller from whom we received it. The 1989 P.J.
Fischer inspection report shows 93,360 miles at that time.
Authentic original air conditioning has recently been installed.
Prepared with an eye towards originality of appearance, it has been
upgraded using technology unavailable 6 decades ago. The resultant
efficiency is truly impressive. The original interior wood veneers
have also been restored to show quality for the first time in
nearly 6 decades.
Correct handbooks amp; complete tools, the small ones in their
special Mulliner box accompany the automobile along with copies of
the factory amp; coachwork records. The original chassis, engine
amp; body have never been separated from each other amp; there are
no collisions or other horror stories in its 63 year history.
** PRICE ADJUSTMENT **
UPDATE: Although never fully restored, this automobile was awarded
First Place Honors in the Postwar Rolls-Royce amp; Bentley Class at
the recent Boca Raton Concours d'Elegance. The Tiffany glass trophy
shown in the photos will accompany the car to its next home.
