Ringling Museum of Art. I would be very grateful if you could share some of the sources you may have uncovered in the article about the Rolls Royce. Thank you in advance for your courtesy and consideration.
By the way, you must certainly be aware of the precarious financial situation in which Ringling was relegated to at the time of his death in 1936. His executor, nephew John Ringling North, was adamant in keeping as much of the estate intact as possible and for the most part was successful: creditors came within an eyelash of taking title to the Sarasota residence, Ca d'Zan, but the mansion along with the museum remained intact. However there is a great deal of documentation about many of his personal effects being sold to pay off some of his debts. The succeeding provenance of the Rolls and his Pierce Arrows appears to be sketchy.]]>Aug 25th 2010 5:20PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2010/06/28/tsar-nicholas-iis-custom-1914-rolls-royce-for-sale-at-7-millio/http://www.luxist.com/2010/06/28/tsar-nicholas-iis-custom-1914-rolls-royce-for-sale-at-7-millio/Jul 3rd 2010 4:16PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2010/06/28/tsar-nicholas-iis-custom-1914-rolls-royce-for-sale-at-7-millio/http://www.luxist.com/2010/06/28/tsar-nicholas-iis-custom-1914-rolls-royce-for-sale-at-7-millio/
Apparently they are knowing when it was ordered nut not when it was delivered because different dates are advanced, 1913, 1914, 1915, ... and why not later. There was war in continental Europe and delivery being difficult. Was it really delivered to their real owners or was it remained in a Rolls-Royce agency, per example in Germany?
