1954 - This vehicle was a present for Sir Winston Churchill for his 80th birthday. Hmm, was there a cigar lighter on the Series I?
. The same car almost 50 years later. It was up for sale at Sotheby's in March 2000; they expected to get between 45 and 50.000 Dollar.
It is said Churchill used the car regularly to drive around his Chartwell estate until his death in 1965. His son-in-law sold it later on to a farmer where it was used as hack until 1977. (I suppose that guy paid a lot less than those 50.000 bucks he expects now). The car has an extra wide passenger seat, the middle seat was converted into a padded armrest and an extra grab handle sits on the bulkhead.
