Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1933 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Sedanca De Ville, formerly owned by Metropolitan Opera star Gladys Swarthout, features coachwork by Gurney Nutting and a rare left-hand drive configuration. While largely original with an old repaint, it requires mechanical recommissioning due to static display and some age-related wear on the interior.
Condition
5
The car appears to be largely original with just an old repaint. The front seat's grey leather is cracked and stiff but not split and may respond well to sympathetic attention. Similarly, the beige broadcloth upholstering the rear compartment is aged and tender but sound and complete. Other interior appointments are sensitively aged and sound. On static display for the last decade, mechanical recommissioning is recommended prior to active enjoyment.
