This stunning example has a known history from new having been initially delivered to a British Engineer, and has had roughly 5 owners over its lifetime. The car was shown in the 60's at Pebble Beach by a Previous Owner, a photos of it on the lawn is in the copious records and research, which of course include the original Build Sheet. The car is one of only 3 Cabriolet deVille's built on the PIII Chassis, and the only Hooper bodied example produced-a true one off car. Interestingly, the car has a standing versus Kneeling Mascot as is common on PIII's, and has been so equipped from new.

Under the care of our client since 2000, the car was almost completely restored under his care the only exception being the Leather interior-which was and remains in excellent condition. The Engine was completely rebuilt with guidance and assistance of the leading PIII engine specialists both stateside and In England. The car was sent to noted Restoration Shop D&D Restorations in Dayton, OH for complete body restoration, paint, new top, wood work restoration, and plating. The Wire Wheels which were incorrect were replaced with new correct sized units, and the Custom Steel trunk and fitted Luggage were fabricated by D& D as well.

The car runs extremely well-without fault really. All the gauges and instruments perform their function, including the trafficators. The car is accompanied by a complete and extensive set of factory tools, books, Build Sheet, binders of historical documentation, and some spares. Since the work was completed the car has completed several Long Distance Tours and been presented at Rolls Royce Owner's Club events across the country.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a car that will be a standout at any show, the centerpiece of any collection. A true One-off, unique example. A rolling Work of Art that will reward the lucky new owner both on the Road and on the Show Field.
