self-leveling rear suspension! It has been beautifully cared for
and meticulously maintained from new showcasing just 42,850 actual
miles from new! It was built in November 1981 and made its way to
the Los Angeles port in May 1982 where it was delivered to
Rolls-Royce of Beverly Hills, LTD on Wilshire Boulevard. The
original owner proudly kept this stunning Rolls Royce in top form
through 1985. It traded hands amongst a few additional California
collectors before coming to Illinois in 2001. It sold back to Palm
Springs, California in 2008 when it was located by its most recent
owner here in St. Louis. He enjoyed it thoroughly before
commissioning a comprehensive restoration in December 2013. This
led to a complete, professional repaint of the exterior paint in
the original color by nationally renowned Mann's Restorations
completed in March of 2014. Erwin Schwarz LTD, British car
specialist here in Brentwood, MO, was selected with a mileage
reading of 41,372 in June 2014 to rebuild the entire brake system
including brake accumulators, valve casings, return hoses, o-rings,
pipe sleeves, and mineral spirits were replaced; install a new fuel
accumulator; timing rotor, spark plugs, all fuel injectors & seals;
replace the triangle gasket, valve cover gaskets, torque tube, &
isolators, and check tube; new fuel filter; all drive belts; both
power steering hoses, along with convertible top feed lines & fluid
all replaced. It returned to Schwarz LTD for a new alternator in
September 2015; 1" radial whitewall tires were installed October
2015 with 41,993 miles. And finally, the rear ride control system
and brakes were completely renewed in October 2016. This included
rebuilt rear brake calipers & new pads, e-Brake pads, #1 brake pump
& housing, rear suspension height control valves, gas springs,
priority valves, new sub frame shocks; along with the radiator
flushed and replaced with Evans high performance waterless coolant
at 42,797 miles. It continues to operate just brilliantly with
gorgeous interior woodwork, factory wool floor mats, leather boot
cover. The original radio is included, but currently replaced for a
modern digital AM/FM/USB-ready head unit in the stock location. In
addition, it will come with storage car cover, battery maintainer,
all Rolls Royce order & delivery documentation, copy of original

perfect investment example. This is undoubtedly one worth seeing in
