The provenance
History.
Notable
- ◆ 1 of 2 remaining in Australia
- ◆ 2-year restoration
Coach-built by Mulliner with an aluminium body. Only four ever made it to Australia, of which two remain. Ruby is one of those two.
Previously registered in Beverly Hills, California (1991), Always Classic Cars purchased Ruby in November 2009 and spent two years restoring her to her original two-tone finish. The aluminium coachwork, hand-formed over an ash frame, gives her a lightness and elegance that pressed-steel bodies can’t match.
Ruby is among the most sought-after cars in the fleet for formal weddings and special occasions.
