The provenance
History.
Notable
- ◆ H.J. Mulliner body №4958
- ◆ Opera roof light
Built with an H.J. Mulliner touring limousine body in blue with an opera roof light. Originally delivered to John Carter of Werribee, Victoria, then through several Victorian owners.
Shelly spent the 1990s in Japan before being acquired by Always Classic Cars in 2005, making her one of our first cars formally classified as a Limousine. The H.J. Mulliner coachwork (body №4958) is notable for its graceful proportions, and the opera roof light, a small opening above the rear passenger compartment, was a luxury detail that set touring limousines apart from standard saloons.
