This Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith Limousine was manufactured in June of 1953 and sold new in Florida to Mr. Josiah K. Lilly. It wore 'Teviot III' limousine coachwork by Hooper & Company and is one of 50 examples with this design (style number 8283). It is a left-hand drive example that is finished in black/Bordeaux with red-carpeted beige leather interior. There is an internal division window and cocktail bar in the rear compartment.
When the Rolls-Royce returned to Europe, it was purchased in France by Pierre Bergé for Yves Saint-Laurent and remained at the Normandy chateaux, serving as their personal transportation. In 1998, it was acquired by Mr. Secordel, who retained the previous Calvados-region registration '11 SH 14' that it had been given while resident at Saint-Laurent and Bergé's chateaux. Between 1994 to 2005, over 35,000 euros was spent maintaining the vehicle, with work performed by Sauzeau Automobiles in France.
In June of 2005, the car was purchased by Henri Chambon who had it regularly serviced and exercised by his personal mechanic. At the Paris Sale held by Bonhams in February of 2009, the car entered new ownership. Since that time, it has been on static display.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2022
