I am inquiring on behalf of a gentlemen who purchased a 1939 WXA25 RR. It was built for the 1939 London Car Show at Earls court and was a one of. The car later came to Canada. It had the interior removed and placed in crates. The gentleman that purchased it reassembled it. He noticed the engine had piston slap so off he went to England where he told RR what he had and they said they had been looking for that car and wondered what had happened to it as it was the only one produced.
While living in Victoria BC the owner was approached about having the car used in a movie. That movie was Glitterdome starring James Garner. He shipped the off to Hollywood. During filming a piece of lighting equipment toppled over and did 10,000 damage to the right front fender. The owner of Capitol Records at the time asked the owner if he would sell it, which he did. He is now 82 years old and has often wondered how he might find out what became of the car. His selling price at the time was 56,000 US. I'm sure it has appreciated substantially since then. Any ideas would be appreciated
