I will endeavor to describe the vehicle as accurately as I
can. Bidders are encouraged to contact
me or the current owner (neighbor). Also, please inspect, in person, if you are able.
Offered for sale is a
1969
Rolls Royce Silver Shadow
in Pewter color, an early chrome bumper model on
standard wheelbase.
This car is owned by my neighbor; I am listing it on my
auction site for her. Her name is Ursula
and her email address is jemiur@aol.com, This car has been in storage and not driven
for several years. I was able to start the car with very little effort and drive it about ¼ mile to my house.
This car should be trailered on account of
poor brakes and also because of coming out of long-term storage.
However, it does start and run well and you
can drive it onto a trailer with no problem.
In my brief test drive, the engine starts easily, idles
smooth and runs strong; I believe the engine to be a solid runner. The 3-speed automatic shifts well through all
the gears. The brakes are bad. The brake fluid for the rear circuit has
leaked out from the right rear wheel cylinder; I didn’t see any other leaks
underneath. A solid body, no
evidence of rust. It looks as though the
hood, front doors and front wings have been resprayed at some time in the
past. The paint was done well, matches
well. The roof, rear doors and trunk lid
are slightly duller and are probably the original finish.
Mileage indicted on odometer 31641: likely in excess of mechanical limitations.. The car
was purchased by the spouse of the current owner in 2008. It was purchased in Braintree Massachusetts
and driven to Naples Florida at that time. Since the time of the last transfer of ownership in 2008, it has been
driven about 4000 miles. The car has
been in storage under a carport for the last three years and started
occasionally. Red leather is worn; Yokahama
tires have lots of tread, but may be old. License plate expired in August of 2015 and beach parking sticker indicates
2013; probably indicatative of when the car was last in regular use. I ran the windows up and down as well as
the power antenna. Interior is clean, but shows wear, there are no bad smells. This car could be made into a dependable daily driver with little
effort.
There are some service records that indicate the car was
purchased in NY, garaged in New Jersey, Massachusetts before coming to Naples
Florida. Some inspection records from
Massachusetts and service receipts. Also, an owner’s manual and a licensed DVD service manual are included
with a large box of paperwork. Clear
Florida title in Ursula’s name.
