This very attractive vintage Rolls-Royce was originally ordered by a Mrs Miller of Bayswater Hill, London, who commissioned Barker & Co., one of the most respected and oldest established London coachbuilders, to build her the ultimate formal body for her new Rolls – a Landaulet. The design of this type of body was firmly entrenched in horse drawn carriage designs of the previous century and was well suited to fashionable ladies (and to members of the Royal Family) who would instruct their chauffeurs at the turn of a key to open the leather covered rear section of the roof above the passengers so they could be seen and enjoy open air motoring.
This example has many charming luxury fittings, including companions with a car clock (working), seating for seven people, including two jump seats, a silver-plated flower vase, silk rope pulls and a sliding glass division with a speaking aperture. It has brown leather to the front compartment and Bedford cord to the rear. The folding rear hood mechanism is a delight to use, being sprung internally as befitting one of the best coachbuilders in the land.
This splendid car was bought by Mr Harry Sunderland in 1995 as a sound original car and was subsequently restored by him to a very high standard. It presents very well indeed and now forms part of the AutoCouture fleet
