RE: Pullman for sale in New Zealand

At that price, I wouldn't worry, it's not going anywhere.

What do you kiwis need with a LHD example anyway?

 

And, of course, I could be wrong about the likelihood of sale, as many will pay extra for 'celebrity provenance' but in my case I'd cut 50% off for that parrticular P.O.

Apparently there were a few made in RHD:
some ended up in London, Hong Kong and Tokyo..

It's remarkable just how graceful they are, for such a large motorcar

Re: Pullman for sale in New Zealand

Of course they made Right Hand Drivers too. We have a number in South Africa, including at least one Pullman, ex State President Swart's car Now restored by DC South Africa.

RE: Pullman for sale in New Zealand

I wanted to add that Pres Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire had a whole collection of 600's (not RH , bottom photo) and I he may have had as many as 17 in his time!

Apologies but the guide (on how to reply and add pictures) is not yet operational.

All of these beautiful photos make me wistful for the days
when VIPs rode around in limousines instead of SUVs...
