Beschreibung
The body is entirely handmade in aluminum by the Barker coach building firm in London. Barkers has origins dating back to the 18th century. They were suppliers to the English royal household, including during the time of Queen Victoria. They manufactured horse-drawn vehicles with bodies of various designs at that time. The company went into liquidation in 1939.
The car features dual ignition and fuel systems. The stiffness of the suspension is adjusted according to road conditions with a lever on the steering wheel. The car is also equipped with centralized lubrication. The engine is an inline 6-cylinder with overhead valves, 7.7 liters, and is described by the factory as "sufficient for the carriage's needs."
The car comes from the Sandahls collection, which Bilweb Auctions AB will sell in early spring under four different themes: first, some of the family's popular workhorses, primarily Mercedes, Volkswagen, and a wildcard, then half a dozen exclusive Rolls-Royce and Jaguars, followed by a selection of early Ford cars and a Chevrolet from the infancy of motoring. Finally, there will be nine different award-winning and representative full-size American cars from 1959, the year when tailfins were at their largest.
Sandahls is now one of Sweden's largest family-owned transport conglomerates. The company was founded in Värnamo in 1949. Previous generations have collected around 40 cars under various themes in their private museum for many years. Bilweb Auctions AB has now been tasked with the honor of selling these in four rounds in February and March this year.

Zustand Interieur
The interior is remarkable, considering it's nearly 100 years old, and is in a nice and complete condition. The front seats are made of typical leather for the driver, while the rear seats are plush and include an extra fold-out seat. In the front, the leather front seats and door cards are in good condition, although the window winders are missing on both sides. The carpet is worn, but the wooden trim is very nice, and the dashboard and gauges are in good condition. In the rear, the plush seat is in good condition, along with the wooden trim and headliner. The floor carpet is slightly worn but still ok, and there is also a nice sliding dividing window

Zustand Exterieur
This car has no rust issues, boasting a super solid bodywork and an extremely nice underbody. The bodywork is mostly straight, apart from the dent and scuff on the left wings and the scuff on the right lower wing, which occurred when driving into the museum years ago. The paintwork is bright and clean, featuring a deep dark blue color with nice brass trim on the doors, and only minor marks and scratches in place. The car has been repainted sometime in the past. The chromework all around is in great and shiny condition.

This car is ideal for a Rolls Royce enthusiast, especially with the right knowledge of these cars. It will need a proper review and assessment of the mechanical condition, but cosmetic flaws are easily fixed. It's amazing how solid the car's condition is.
