NOW LOWERED RESERVE- BID NOW OR REGRET IT FOREVER-STARTING BID REDUCED $20,000 FOR QUICK SALE! This elegant Rolls Royce was displayed by world famous Lazarus Motor Museum until the owner passed and museum closed. The family decided to keep it and sent to an out of state restoration shop to have removed motor rebuilt. The shop changed hands, went out of business and the shop had the car moved to alternate out of state storage. In the interim some parts of motor were lost (head, pistons, rods, etc). The lower block assembly, etc. are still stored and come with car. We do not have photos of the motor and mechanical components yet but hope to be getting such and adding to the listing WE HAVE SINCE FOUND A WESTERN GENT WHO RESTORED SEVERAL PI RR AND CLAIMS TO HAVE THE MISSING COMPONENTS IN USED CONDITION FOR $5000.00. HIS PARTS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS AUCTION BUT FAMILY WILL PROVIDE HIS NAME AND NUMBER TO THE BUYER SO THEY CAN GET COMPLETE THE SEARCH FOR THE MOTOR PARTS FORMERLY LOST. ONE ENTERPRIZING GENTLEMAN HAS SUGGESTED MAKING THIS EXQUISITELY STLYED ROLLS ROYCE INTO THE ULTIMATE WEDDING CAR AND RENT IT OUT FOR SERIOUS MONEY TO CLIENTS WANTING SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL. HE SAYS IT WOULD NOT BE THAT DIFFICULT OR REALLY THAT EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL DRIVE TRAIN WITH A NEW GM OR OTHER V8 MOTOR OR EVEN A BIG STRAIGHT 6 LIKE IT ORIGINALLY HAD, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND AFTERMARKET AIR CONDITIONING IN THE FRONT AND REAR. ONE COULD CONVERT IT BACK TO ORIGINAL-LATER. The family had the car transported back to Illinois and the photos were taken when it was unloaded off the trailer. IT has NOT been stored outside when it was at the Iowa shop and is now in secure warehouse storage in this area.! This of one of some 1000 (YES, 1000) 1920s-1980s vehicles from the family, ex Lazarus Motor Museum display and others that Collector Car Liquidators will be offering through ebay. We do not personally own these cars and what is provided is all we know and normally no additional photos are available. Not all cars are at same location and photos taken by an independent service. Many of the cars have been owned by the owner(s) for many years and with so many cars, we can not guarantee that the original paperwork/documents of ownership are readilly available. Each car sold will be free and clear, come with at least a bill of sale / invoice, notorized if need be. If there is a title in file, it will be provided but if there is not, we can assist the new owner in obtaining additional paperwork or title if need be with the new owner absorbing any related preapproved costs/expenses. This vintage Rolls Royce appear to be mostly complete other than basically some missing mechanical AND some smaller parts. It even has the glorious flying "Lady" hood ornament, the original Buffalo wire wheel wrench, original Rolls Royce hand crank, and even the telephone for notifying the chauffer what the very important passengers desired. It's a straight, believed to be a mostly original car featuring an alunimum body with classic styled steel clamshell fenders complimented by genuine wirewheel sidemounted wheels.It will need restored but as straight and as it is, it could be a worthy family project. They have several buyers that have been awaiting its arrival and even an out of USA collector has offered to buy it for the $75,000 buy it now price if the family would give him 24 months to buy on a layaway type arrangement with the car remaining here until paid off. The owners are not adverse to some time or possibly even a partial trade delivered to Illinois by the buyer but really do not want to wait 2 years. $55,000 has already been offered outright by a couple of collectors/dealers and the owners feel to be fair to all, it's going on ebay with a $55,000 starting bid, If $55,000 is all it brings, some lucky collector will be a proud new owner of a vintage Rolls Royce for less than a newer ever depreciating luxury car. GOOD LUCK, WE HOPE YOU ARE THE WINNING BIDDER!!!

YOU TOO CAN RIDE IN HEIGHT OF ELEGANCE LIKE GRETA GARBO, GARY COOPER, CLARK GABLE AND OTHERS THAT COULD AFFORD TO BUY THE VERY BEST THAT MONEY COULD BUY!

NOW LOWERED RESERVE- BID NOW OR REGRET IT FOREVER-STARTING BID REDUCED $20,000 FOR QUICK SALE!

This elegant Rolls Royce was displayed by world famous Lazarus Motor Museum until the owner passed and museum closed. The family decided to keep it and sent to an out of state restoration shop to have removed motor rebuilt. The shop changed hands, went out of business and the shop had the car moved to alternate out of state storage. In the interim some parts of motor were lost (head, pistons, rods, etc). The lower block assembly, etc. are still stored and come with car. We do not have photos of the motor and mechanical components yet but hope to be getting such and adding to the listing

WE HAVE SINCE FOUND A WESTERN GENT WHO RESTORED SEVERAL PI RR AND CLAIMS TO HAVE THE MISSING COMPONENTS IN USED CONDITION FOR $5000.00. HIS PARTS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS AUCTION BUT FAMILY WILL PROVIDE HIS NAME AND NUMBER TO THE BUYER SO THEY CAN GET COMPLETE THE SEARCH FOR THE MOTOR PARTS FORMERLY LOST.

ONE ENTERPRIZING GENTLEMAN HAS SUGGESTED MAKING THIS EXQUISITELY STLYED ROLLS ROYCE INTO THE ULTIMATE WEDDING CAR AND RENT IT OUT FOR SERIOUS MONEY TO CLIENTS WANTING SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL. HE SAYS IT WOULD NOT BE THAT DIFFICULT OR REALLY THAT EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL DRIVE TRAIN WITH A NEW GM OR OTHER V8 MOTOR OR EVEN A BIG STRAIGHT 6 LIKE IT ORIGINALLY HAD, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND AFTERMARKET AIR CONDITIONING IN THE FRONT AND REAR. ONE COULD CONVERT IT BACK TO ORIGINAL-LATER.

The family had the car transported back to Illinois and the photos were taken when it was unloaded off the trailer. IT has NOT been stored outside when it was at the Iowa shop and is now in secure warehouse storage in this area.!

This of one of some 1000 (YES, 1000) 1920s-1980s vehicles from the family, ex Lazarus Motor Museum display and others that Collector Car Liquidators will be offering through ebay. We do not personally own these cars and what is provided is all we know and normally no additional photos are available. Not all cars are at same location and photos taken by an independent service.

Many of the cars have been owned by the owner(s) for many years and with so many cars, we can not guarantee that the original paperwork/documents of ownership are readilly available. Each car sold will be free and clear, come with at least a bill of sale / invoice, notorized if need be. If there is a title in file, it will be provided but if there is not, we can assist the new owner in obtaining additional paperwork or title if need be with the new owner absorbing any related preapproved costs/expenses.

This vintage Rolls Royce appear to be mostly complete other than basically some missing mechanical AND some smaller parts. It even has the glorious flying "Lady" hood ornament, the original Buffalo wire wheel wrench, original Rolls Royce hand crank, and even the telephone for notifying the chauffer what the very important passengers desired.

It's a straight, believed to be a mostly original car featuring an alunimum body with classic styled steel clamshell fenders complimented by genuine wirewheel sidemounted wheels.It will need restored but as straight and as it is, it could be a worthy family project.

They have several buyers that have been awaiting its arrival and even an out of USA collector has offered to buy it for the $75,000 buy it now price if the family would give him 24 months to buy on a layaway type arrangement with the car remaining here until paid off.

The owners are not adverse to some time or possibly even a partial trade delivered to Illinois by the buyer but really do not want to wait 2 years. $55,000 has already been offered outright by a couple of collectors/dealers and the owners feel to be fair to all, it's going on ebay with a $55,000 starting bid,

If $55,000 is all it brings, some lucky collector will be a proud new owner of a vintage Rolls Royce for less than a newer ever depreciating luxury car.

GOOD LUCK, WE HOPE YOU ARE THE WINNING BIDDER!!!
