Specialist Notes
This car was originally bodied as a a Sedanca de Ville made for exhibition at the 1930 Paris Salon and purchased by the Woolworth heiress Barbara Hutton. It was imported into Denmark in 1937 on the occasion of her marriage to Count Haugwitz-Reventlow and has been there ever since. Total mileage is in the region of 70,000. At some time prior to 1937 the car was converted into a saloon, and it is possible that further modifications were also made to the rear of the body, though Hoopers have confirmed that much of it is as delivered by them. It is a four-door six-light sports saloon with integral rear boot and single side-mounted spare wheel. Upholstery is in finest quality blue leather, with headlining in grey West of England cloth. The interior woodwork is of ebony with all knobs and handles in ivory. Purchased at Christie's auction in Monza in 1974. A full restoration has been carried out.
