1977 Rolls-Royce Camargue originally owned by Sammy Davis Jr. to be auctioned Thrice married, father of four Sammy Davis Jr. (1925 – 1990) led an exotic and varied life. Born in New York, he began his career in vaudeville at the age of 3, became a member of The Rat Pack with Frank Sinatra […]
Built by Rolls-Royce’s coach building division, HJ Mulliner Park Ward and designed by Paolo Martin of Pininfarina, the Camargue was the most expensive car in the world at the time of its launch. Priced at £29,250, the 120-inch wheelbase car featured the first bi-level automatic air conditioning system in the world and remained in production until 1986. By then the vehicle’s price had risen to £83,122.
Graeme Hunt of GraemeHunt describes the 6.75-litre Camargue he is selling as a “most unusual example” and states on his webpage that the car is “quite simply a time warp”. The vehicle was originally sold to an individual in Guernsey when new and was transferred to his son in 2012.
Since having been taken out of storage recently, GraemeHunt have carried out major servicing and recommissioning works to the 5,150lb car that they are currently selling.
Top Gear’s James May once compared the Camargue to a “pug-faced but well-dressed” gentleman. This “remarkably kept” example will undoubtedly make just such a gentleman very happy.
