1976 ROLLS ROYCE SILVER SHADOW, NOT TO BE MISSED, WEDDING BUSINESS / INVESTMENT?

To save wasting my time and yours I will point out:

this Rolls Royce is in Central Scotland (447. 1 miles from London) please check the AA Route finder – http://www. theaa. com/route-planner/index. jsp I'm in the FK10 postcode area.   If you are still unsure please send me your postcode and I'll check the distance for you.

If this puts you off this great Rolls Royce then thanks for reading but  now.

If you are still interested please keep reading.

Here we have my friend's Rolls Royce Silver Shadow.  As you can see this is a stunning example even in the low light and unwashed condition you can see just how good this car is.   This is a great example which has never been welded.   This is being listed with a reasonable reserve and only being sold as not getting used.   New owner won't be disappointed.  

If you check my feedback you will see I am often asked to sell a car for my friends.   I have had my time wasted on more than a few occasions where sellers claim their car is in good condition and when you view it yourself it is fit for scrap.   I would rather be 100% honest and some would say harsh on the car so you know everything about the car you are bidding on so as not waste my time and yours.   It's this attitude that means people ask me to list their car as they know it will be listed honestly.

The car:

starts. drives and stops as it should.

registered in UK on 2/2/76.  

MOT until 16th June 2017.

6. 50 cc petrol engine.

seems undignified to give bhp after all it is a Rolls Royce so won't mention again.

automatic gearbox.

body work in excellent condition.

ready to be enjoyed.

could be used as a business or even an investment on this classic.

electric windows.

one of only 16 taxed Silver Shadows left on UK roads so a very rare car - https://www. howmanyleft. co. uk/vehicle/rolls_royce_silver_shadow_ii_auto#!tax.

leather interior in excellent condition - does look darker in photos.

dash wood looks really bright.

door wood a bit sun faded but could be refinished to look like new again.

speed control button.

the majority of the chrome looks excellent but being overly critical couple of bits need polished - polishing by hand with autosol would make it all like new.

CD player was removed (stop someone damaging the car for a CD player) but can easily be refitted for new owner.

owner has said he will replace the front tyres for new owner.

he has been able to find the following documents:

original sales & service handbook.

supplement to the handbook.

plastic RR instruction handbook to keep docs safe.

with the way the car looks and goes you can tell there has been a lot of time. effort and money spent to keep this car in the condition it's in now.   

condition can put much more modern cars to shame.   

Please let all 50 pictures load before asking any questions:

this is dirt and not paint damage

Minor Points. being really picky:

3 of the electric windows don't work - assume as not getting used and MAY just need freed off if lucky.

few and I'm really just saying this to cover myself: few age related marks.

speedo doesn't seem to work. nbsp;miles at same miles since 2014 checking MOT history.   Owner said from memory the gauge to tell speed does work though.

SO AS YOOU CAN SEE A GREAT CAR IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.

Please note that once auction ends you must contact me within 24 hours to arrange collection and payment or it will be passed to eBay to recover costs and give negative strike.   Owner would prefer cash on collection but I can take paypal and pass cash to him - please see payment instructions.   This located at the owners house in Alloa. Central Scotland. Checking the AA website I am 447. 1 miles from London.  If you want to view it before auction ends please let me know.

Sorry for genuine bidders but I have had a lot of dreamers in the past.
