The car was completed in December of 1924 and delivered to its first owner, the Swindle Family, on August 6, 1925. It remained their personal transport up until 1933. Following the passing of Mr. and Mrs. Swindle the car was kept in storage by the family for many years. Eventually it was sold to a gentleman in North Hampton who shortly decided to part ways and then sold the vehicle to Mr. Ron McLeod of Brisbane Australia around 1989. Shortly thereafter the car was turned over to Sleeping Beauties of Brisbane, Australia to complete a high-quality restoration. The vehicle again changed ownership in 1997 to Dr. John Matheson of Sydney, Australia and he entered the car in several rallies eventually selling the car in 2000. The car changed hands once again in 2015, its radiator was rebuilt prior to the sale. A fully documented car, it's accompanied by its original owner's manual, service receipts, tools, and awards. The car has been regularly serviced by a Rolls-Royce specialist. The car starts easily and out on the open road the car performs as it should. The engine pulls strongly and the car handles and stops efficiently. Everything works as it should, including the vacuum windscreen wiper. Turn indicators have been discreetly fitted into the existing lights for modern day safety.To view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM website at rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/fl19.
