The provenance
History.
Notable
- ◆ Park Ward body
- ◆ Restored by ACC founder Tom Roberts
A Park Ward saloon delivered May 1951 to Olympia Motors, Melbourne. Lady Di remained in the Stokoe family for 46 years, then through the ASPRO family.
Restored by the late Tom Roberts, founder of Always Classic Cars, and named Lady Di in 1996. Princess Diana owned and loved a similar 1951 Silver Wraith, and the name felt fitting for a car of this elegance and composure.
The Park Ward body is distinguished by its flowing roofline and gracious proportions, among the most beautiful of all the post-war Silver Wraith coachwork styles.
