Oldest Rolls-Royce in Auction

Rolls-Royce

Built in 1904, the year Rolls-Royce was founded, this 10hp Rolls-Royce, Car no. 20154, is the oldest surviving Rolls-Royce. The diminutive two seater, is expected to reach an excess of £1-million when it goes under the hammer at Bonhams’ annual Olympia Motoring Sale in London.

Also on sale at the auction is a 1956 S1 Continental Sports Saloon, once owned by Sir Elton John, and described by the artist as " the most beautiful-looking car that’s ever been designed". The car is now owned by Sir Alan Sugar, who bought the car in 2001.
