LRL39341

Gasoline

VERY SOLID CAR NO RUST RUNS DRIVES AND IS REGISTERED AND PASSED CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS... NEW FRONT SHOCKS NEW STEERING RACK NEW ALTERNATOR NEW POWER STEERING PUMP AND BOTH SU CARBURETORS WERE PROFESSIONALLY REBUILT. SHE RUNS AND DRIVES & SHIFTS WELL. THE CAR ALSO HAD A PROFESSIONAL RR SERVICEMAN COMPLETELY CLEAN THE HYDRAULIC SUSPENSION TUBES AND RR363 TANK AND SHE RECEIVED NEW BRAKE ACCUMULATORS AND HYDRAULIC SPHERES. I'M OPTING FOR A SILVER SPIRIT SO THIS CAR IS NOW FOR SALE. SHE NEEDS VINYL TOP REPAIR AND THE FRONT SEATS REUPHOLSTERED, THE CARPETING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IS PRETTY MUCH IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT BUT THE REST OF THE CAR IS IN FAIR TO GOOD CLEAN CONDITION. THE LEATHER DASH COVER NEAR THE DEFROST VENTS IS MISSING, SHE HAS SOME CLEAR COAT PEELING ON RIGHT FENDER AND LEFT REAR ON TRUNK... OTHERWISE A VERY SOLID CANDIDATE FOR A LIGHT RESTORATION. THE CAR HAS MICHELIN TIRES WHICH ARE AGED HOWEVER STILL PROVIDE A GOOD RIDE...THERE ARE SMALL CRACKS IN THEM SO BEST TO REPLACE THEM. THE VINYL TOP HAS SPLIT FROM AGE AT THE SEAMS SO IT NEEDS TO HAVE THE CENTER PANEL TAKEN OFF AND REPLACED/DYED TO MATCH. THE ORIGINAL BLAUPUNKT FRANKFURT RADIO IS PRESENT AND WORKS AS DOES THE POWER ANTENNA, THE MOTOROLA CASSETTE DECK IS PRESENT AS WELL. ALL WINDOWS EXCEPT FOR FRONT PASSENGER WORK, THE A/C COMPRESSOR COMES ON HOWEVER A CHARGE IS NECESSARY...POWER SEAT MOTORS NOT COOPERATING AT THE MOMENT SO NOT SURE IF IT IS A RELAY OR NOT...THEY CLICK WHEN YOU MOVE THE SWITCH. ALL LIGHTS AND BLINKERS WORK EXTERNALLY, THE CAR RUNS IMMEDIATELY FROM STARTING, IDLES DOWN AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE AND HAS GOOD QUIET POWER... PARKING BRAKE IS DISCONNECTED AT THE MOMENT... I DO HAVE CALIFORNIA TITLE, THE CAR PASSED EMISSIONS AND WAS REGISTERED IN FEBRUARY. LOCATED & GARAGED IN SAN DIEGO.

I am confused, I checked on my 1980 Rolls Royce and it has 17 letters and numbers - I then checked with a friend of mine and he has confirmed that it should have 17 letters and numbers! Are you looking in the correct place on the vehicle? Otherwise I will have a friend of mine stop at your address and assess the car - I will need your address for that - If you do not supply the address, I will assume the listing is not real. ROLLS ROYCE VEHICLES PRIOR TO 1981 HAVE MUCH SHORTER VIN NUMBERS, TYPICALLY 3 LETTERS FOLLOWED BY 4 OR 5 NUMBERS DESIGNATION THE CHASSIS NUMBER...THIS IS IN FACT THE CARS VIN NUMBER. IF YOU SEARCH OTHER SILVER SHADOWS AND WRAITHS YOU WILL SEE THE SAME STYLE VIN NUMBER. THE CAR IS REAL, YOU JUST NEED TO ACQUAINT YOURSELF WITH ROLLS ROYCE VIN NUMBERS...ALSO CARS OLDER THAN 1981 HAVE NO CARFAX RECORDS....

OVERALL THE CAR IS VERY SOLID HOWEVER COSMETIC ISSUES WILL NEED ADDRESSING.
