Equipment
Colmn-shift automatic, steel wheels with full wheel covers, narrow whitewalls, gold Spirit of Ecstasy radiator mascot, wood dash and window trim, aftermarket stereo, Motorola telephone, wood fold-out tables in the seat backs.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
All original. Rough, dull paint with several touchups on the passenger's side and scraped paint near the left rear wheel. Vinyl top is faded but straight and clean. Seat upholstery is heavily worn. Wood trim is in good condition. Engine bay is clean but not detailed. Original wheels are lightly dinged up. Showing 36,934 miles but presents like a car with a few more, and for a Rolls-Royce like a car with a lot more. A cheap ticket to Rolls-Royce ownership, but no one's pride and joy.
Market commentary
Reassuringly advertised as being in the same family from new, this old but not quite classic Rolls is still a risky buy. It was not represented with service records, which is everything on a car like this, and deferred maintenance on a Rolls even with relatively low mileage (36,934 in this case) can spell trouble. The buyer paid a market appropriate price, leaving him no room if something big (or even little) fails.
