Vehicle Description
1969 Rolls Royce Mulliner Park Ward Coupe
This fantastic Rolls Royce is an incredibly original one-owner
example with fantastic provenance having been owned from new by the
famous music producer Mickie Most, who purchased it at the Earls
Court Motor Show in 1969 and retained the car until his death in
2003. It was subsequently stored by the family until 2015 when it
was acquired directly from his estate, having covered a little over
87,000 miles in the intervening 34 years. Mr Most was a true car
enthusiast and as such this vehicle remains in fantastic preserved
condition with its original, and highly distinctive, Bahama yellow
paintwork, black vinyl roof, black leather trim with yellow piping,
wooden veneer detailing and factory tool kit. As befitting a car
owned by one of the most influential players in the music industry
of the 1960s and 70s it retains its original Eight Track cassette
player and period radio (a more modern radio is currently fitted
but the original accompanies the car).
The Mulliner Park Ward Coupe was the name given to the two-door
fixed head version of the Rolls Royce Silver Shadow range
introduced in 1965 to replace the Silver Cloud. The new Shadow was
almost 9 cm narrower and 18 cm shorter than the Cloud and featured
a number of innovations including monocoque construction (the first
example for Rolls Royce), disc brakes, independent rear suspension
and hydraulic self-levelling suspension, all of which contributed
to a much improved ride quality. The engine was a 6.2 Litre V8
delivering a highly respectable 172 bhp and transmission was
delivered via a 4 speed Hydramatic gearbox.
This car provides a rare opportunity to acquire a highly original
and historic car, which has acquired cult status given its links to
the music scene of the late 60s and 70s.
