READ THIS BEFORE YOU BUY A ROLLS Or BENTLEY
This is the cleanest and best maintained Silver Spur you will find on the market. See photo of the original sticker. If you have never owned one of these, here is a lot to know before making a purchase...First and foremost, ow mileage means nothing on these cars. It is all about maintenance. Before you buy one of these make sure you know what you are getting into. If you find one with 40,000 miles on it but it has had 7 owners....RUN!!!. It means that the previous owners did not want to put any money into the maintenance of it and it surely needs a lot of TLC. You will be buying a nightmare....
I boughtthisRolls Roycefrom a previous owner in Tampa, L and he bought this car from a fellow Rolls lover that is his friend in Miami. He was the original owner. I had all the maintenance records when I bought it. This car has only been out of the state of Florida twice whenprevious ownerdrove it to Georgia. It has never seen snow or salted roads. The under carriage is in perfect condition.
These cars have a braking system with a secondary back up system ( second set of front calipers ) and a ride control system that all operate off of a very complex configuration of spheres full of mineral oil and hydrogen.(The system was totally redid- about $5000.00 at the dealer )
Amajor rebuild has been done all at one time at 75 K miles. Here is what was done:
Replaced all belts
rebuilt AC including new compressor
replaced the Plenum Gaskets and all vapor lines on the top of the motor. This has to be done on all of them or they will leak air and never idle properly. ( If you find one that idles up and down slightly, his is why.)
Rebuilt and replaced entire mineral oil system ( about $5000.00 as mentioned earlier )
Replaced all brake pads with OEM pads
Removed and turned all 4 rotors ( this is a 2 day job by the way )
Rebuilt all 6 Calipers ( yes, here are 2 sets of rotors on each front wheel and 1 set on the rears - There are only 2 guys in the country that are known for rebuilding these )
Replaced the rack and pinion with the Bentley Rack ( this is bigger and a little tighter than the original - highly recommended as it makes the car much safer and more responsive )
Replaced compliance bushings
Replaced plug wires with thicker silicone wires much better performance than the old thin ones
Replaced spark plugs with NGK OEM plugs ( shipped in from England )
Replaced tires with OEM Goodyear Eagle GA tires - most Rolls now have replacement tires that do not have a strong enough side walls to support the weight of this car. The result is a mushy ride
Removed and replaced all fluids including the differential, ransmission, adiator.
Rebuilt all wheel bearings and repacked with the appropriate rolls lubricant.
Rebuilt shock tubes - these are little hidden green tubes that most people don't know exist, ut are critical to the stability of the rear of the car
Rebuilt trunk latch mechanism
Brand new Sheepskin proper matchingfloor mats ( $2000.00 )
The things above would have cost about $18,000.00 at a Rolls Dealer - This is why is is is so critical to really understand this car before you buy one. There is nothing else like them. They are incredible, ut it takes the right person to own one. Fortunately, his one is ready for another 80K miles. There are no guarantees butwe have taken away most of the potential problems you could have with owning one of these for a long-time.
Installed an Alpine Stereo system with 4 Focal midrange and tweeter 2 piece speakers in each door as well as a 12" subwoofer in the trunk. ( About $3-4K worth of Stereo )
This Rolls Royce waspurchasedin Miamifrom the original owner. It has always been very well maintained. Feel free come look at it, end your mechanic, hatever. It is as good as you find....It is also one of the few red ones in existence. NADA. Average retail on this car is $ 45K. If I sold it for $ 35K it would be a bargain, ut I will let it go for $27,000 obo for a quick sale.
