The last time I looked a 1937 Packard Phaeton fully restored was for sale for $975,000.oo US. Too rich for my blood, but they can get pricey.
I won't tell you what his first Rolls went for then...
Phantom III Sedanca de Ville
Owned by one little old lady.
In order to be classed after restoration, my uncle had to source OEM or have made to OEM spec for every part.
Which included him having the headlights hand wound and sealed by one of the last people who could even do that.
He scraped the bumper putting it into the garage (in which it barely fit) a few years later and got so panicked that he sold it, for money, another rolls (a 1932 convertible he restored) and a Daimler which had also been an official car of the queen, just a younger one (queen that is).
I always wonder how much he spent restoring, buying and selling his cars, but he had fun doing it and he had the means.
Me, I had one old car, got too expensive to fix once the transmission started going, so I sold it.
Tooling around the english countryside in his 32 Bentley convertible coup, was one of the most amazing rides of my life. It was amazing how much the car flexed, kept wondering if the door would pop open. Very involved driving, not like todays point and shoot cars.
It's why I really love it when you guys show or talk about your old cars and planes.
