- Impressive history file
- Lovely condition
The Appeal
The first post-war Rolls-Royce, the Silver Wraith, was supplied as “chassis-only” and bodied by a number of different coach builders.
With a long history in high end coach work, Hooper and Company was amongst the most exclusive and they were responsible for the design and build of arguably the most elegant of all the limousine bodies, the Teviot III.

This example, presented in grey and burgundy, with a grey interior, has a substantial history file which shows evidence of pampering throughout its life. Used by the last owner in Germany to be chauffeured on his commute, it is very original and presents in lovely condition.
While using it for the daily commute may prove to be quite a commitment, we think that this beautiful and well-maintained slice of fifties luxury would make for a fabulous way to travel and will no doubt receive a great deal of positive attention wherever it goes.

The wood work is beautifully finished and has worn incredibly well with only some light patina on one of the picnic tables to show for its years in service.
Naturally, it features a cocktail cabinet which comes replete with a set of decanters and glasses, and there’s also a glass divide for a level of privacy if James is driving you home.

Up front, the dashboard is fit for a king too and, although it has what appears to be the original radio still installed, a modern head unit is concealed in a leather trimmed custom installation.
Throughout the interior, the leather shows a lovely patina and there are no tears or excess wear. The carpets do show a little wear in the front but have useful mats protecting the rear while up above the headlining is very clean with no signs of sagging.

In all, the cabin looks a suitably relaxing place to be.
Back in the capacious boot, meanwhile, the two tier approach keeps the spare wheel and tools nicely separated from the luggage area and, although there’s some marks to the boot floor, it’s all very usable.

The Exterior
- Body by Hooper and Co. Ltd of London
- Grey and Burgundy coachwork
- P100 headlights
With the flowing curves accentuated by two tone paintwork, there’s an elegance to the design of this Rolls-Royce that is hard to beat.
Impressive chrome work and the delightful headlights help to reinforce an air of luxury and it’s no surprise that Hooper & Co. were ultimately absorbed into Daimler.

The car presents very well with excellent paintwork and no scuffs, marks or other damage to report. The chrome is also pristine, as are the wheels, and the tyres wear good tread all round.
The good news continues underneath where it looks very clean and although there’s a small amount of surface corrosion, it’s in remarkable condition for a car of its age.
The Mechanics
- 4556cc straight six engine
- Four speed manual gearbox
- Very quiet and smooth
Under the bonnet the engine bay is clean and original, a sure sign of the love and attention that’s been lavished on it over the years.
The seller reports that the car drives beautifully and is very quiet and smooth on the road with no untoward noises to distract from the calming atmosphere in the cabin.
In all, it’s ready to be enjoyed and should have many more miles and years of enjoyment to come.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
