Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1935 Rolls-Royce 20/25 'Sports Enclosed Limousine' by Hooper, originally owned by HRH Prince Prajadhipok, boasts a rich history and unique provenance. While it retains its original features and attractive appearance, recommissioning is needed due to inactivity since 2018 and incomplete paintwork.
Condition
6
The car is described as being in good condition with original fittings and an attractive appearance. However, it requires some recommissioning as it has not been on the road since 2018 and paintwork refurbishment was started but not completed. There is also evidence of maintenance work done in the 2000s, suggesting wear and tear. The vendor supplied photographs are from 2014, and more recent photographs are pending, which suggests the condition may have changed since then.
