So with all this history what she like in 2012 ? answer she is STUNNING !!!! .like a 2 year old car Showing 12,000 miles but this is more likely 112,000 which over 44 years is very little and on a Rolls Royce V8 engine is just being run in . BEAUTIFUL MIRROR LIKE PAINT WORK NO BODY ACCIDENTS OR DENTS ETC WITH MATCHING BEAUTY RINGS ON WHEEL HUB CAPS The leather seats are excellent ( NOT DYED) the smell of the leather is still so profound , the wilton carpets are original and perfect with no holes or rips, all fastening studs still place . The headling is excellent with no marks or sagging ,the wood is stunning and beautiful and she still as the original radio model number 980/vsy and electric antenna front electric seats work in all directions with no lag as do the windows exept on one rear which sometimes does not respond to the command. All lights work perfect ,although the centre time piece clock on the dash is stuck at 2-45 Also she has Original Britax RR lapbelts ,sold with the original hand book and complete original small tool kit and road side jacking kits Fully maintained with all records she had a full service +hydraulic and brake replacement of pipes ,seals, parts etc and full trnsmission overhaul .at $4000.
