Now in need of some care and attention, this handsome gentleman’s carriage has been in storage for almost 22-years and has not run since 2015, however the engine is free. Once the property of Lord Lilford of Northampton and featured in the book The Coachwork of Rolls Royce 1906 – 1939 by Lawrence Dalton. it's believed that the recorded mileage of just 47,852 is correct and genuine.
