Rolls Royce used by Eisenhower in WW2 found with incredible letter inside

An abandoned Rolls Royce once owned by US Army legend Dwight Eisenhower during World War Two has been restored after decades of neglect. The car, originally gifted to Eisenhower in 1944, was later used as a wedding car, taxi, and even bricked up in a garage during the war to keep it safe from the Nazis. It eventually resurfaced in a North Wales car pound, where classic car enthusiast Pat Jeater discovered it in 2014. Over the next 11 years, Pat invested more than 10,400 hours and £12,000 bringing the historic vehicle back to life. During the restoration, he uncovered remarkable wartime artifacts hidden inside the car, including a 1939 handwritten letter and a 1944 Italian newspaper. Research revealed the car’s incredible journey from being hidden in Dubrovnik, to serving Eisenhower, and later French General Marie-Pierre Koenig. Now fully restored, the Rolls Royce stands as a stunning piece of history, blending luxury craftsmanship with its extraordinary wartime legacy.
