The Appeal

It is a sign of the growing appeal of the 558 T2s built that this car has received £21,000 of recommissioning by the previous keeper in 2022. That work delivers one of the best example we’ve seen in a while. It is a low-mileage car too, showing less than 60,000 miles, which the vendor has verified.

The T2 appealed to buyers who wanted a car that was a little less showy and common than its Rolls-Royce counterpart. This car leans into that theme with its handsome Silver Sand paintwork and chocolate brown interior. As you might expect from that recent investment and low mileage, it is very well kept. It comes to market with a voluntary MOT valid to August 2025 with no advisories.
