THIS IS A SOLID RUST FREE CALIFORNIA CAR WITH SOME RECENT WORK. SHE RUNS AND DRIVES NICELY, HAS HAD BOTH SU CARBS REBUILT THIS SUMMER AND HAS A CLEAN NH TITLE. CAR HAS BEEN ON EAST COAST AND GARAGED SINCE 2014. THE PAINT IS PRESENTABLE FROM 10 FT AWAY HOWEVER IT IS NOT PERFECT, THE VINYL TOP HAD BEEN SPLIT AT THE SEAM ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BUT IT WAS PATCHED TO CLOSE IT UP, WOULD SUGGEST REPLACING WITH A NEW TOP. SHE DRIVES NICELY AND HAS GOOD POWER, THE MOTOR IS STRONG AND QUIET, ACCELERATES NICELY TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND STAYS THERE WITH NO WANDERING OR DRIFTING IN THE STEERING. AS THE CAR WAS IN CALIFORNIA ITS ENTIRE LIFE THERE IS NO RUST AND THIS WOULD MAKE AN EXCELLENT CAR FOR A FULL RESTORATION...OR CONTINUE TO ENJOY HER AS IS. SHE RECENTLY BENEFITTED FROM A BRAND NEW BRITISHSTARTERS UNIT TO REPLACE THE OLD STYLE LUCAS STARTER, ALL OTHER MOTOR ACCESSORIES ARE WORKING AS THEY SHOULD. ALL WINDOWS WORK ALL POWER SEATS WORK WOOD DASH IS IN GOOD CONDITION, DOOR CAPS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION AS WELL. . I WILL ANSWER QUESTIONS AS NEEDED. BUYERS WITH ZERO FEEDBACK OR WITHOUT A PAYPAL ACCOUNT WILL HAVE BIDS CANCELLED. PLEASE DO NOT BID IF YOU HAVE NO INTENTION OF BUYING THIS CAR. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A PAYPAL ACCOUNT I WILL CANCEL YOUR BID. HAPPY HOLIDAYS.

I FORGOT TO MENTION BUT YOU CAN SEE IN THE INTERIOR PHOTOS THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS REPLACED AT SOME POINT WITH AN ORIGINAL NARDI STEERING WHEEL WITH AN ORIGINAL ROLLS ROYCE HORN BUTTON. On Dec-30-16 at 19:31:36 PST, seller added the following information: WAS ABLE TO UPLOAD SOME MORE PHOTOS. AS A THOUGHT THE ICE WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON, DIDN'T THINK ABOUT IT UNTIL TAKING PHOTOS. HERE ARE SOME DETAILS ON THE PAINT BEING A 10 FOOTER, IT IS COMMON FOR ROLLS ROYCE PAINT TO CRACK AS IT IS VERY THICK...THERE ARE 2 AREAS ON THE CAR NEAR THE WINDSHIELD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THE REAR LEFT SIDE NEAR THE TRUNK. BOTH ARE PERHAPS 2' LONG. THE CLIPS THAT HOLD THE SUN VISORS ARE BROKEN, ANOTHER COMMON PROBLEM WITH OLD ROLLERS. On Dec-30-16 at 20:03:47 PST, seller added the following information: WHEN THE CARBS WERE REBUILT, NEW (FACTORY FLOATS) ALL VACUUM LINES AND HOSES WERE REPLACED, THE O RINGS IN THE AIR HORNS WERE REPLACED AND ALL POTENTIAL VACUUM LEAKS WERE ATTENDED TO, IT WAS A HUGE UNDERTAKING. FUEL HOSES WERE REPLACED, NEW CLAMPS USED AND ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS WERE CHECKED TO THE WHOLE FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. ALL LINKAGES WERE LUBRICATED.
