This car is factory original, not a restoration, although, as is well known the original silver paint from the Coventry factory was not durable, prone to fading toward a dull "pewter gray" and after these many years has been re-painted this summer by a master using today's Sikkens product. Without question it is a far better appearance than new.

I bought the car November 30, 1983 from Rolls Royce of Beverly Hills. It had been traded in for a new car. It was represented to me and warranted to be from the original California owner, therefore I am the second owner. As is revealed on the bill of sale it had 18,616 miles on the odometer.

The car was delivered to our home in Rancho Mirage, CA on a sunny day. It has never seen any weather . . . always maintained in a climate controlled garage situation. Obviously it was not a daily driver, however whether we were in residence or not the car was washed and driven 5 miles at least once a month, and serviced every 500 miles. It never left the desert.

In 2005 it was shipped from Rancho Mirage, CA to Colorado, again garaged in a climate controlled situation.

The grooming, driving and maintenence pattern continues. I must stress that I use the word maintenence for that is all that has been required. There has never been any malfunction or breakdown, any reason for major repair . . . this car has never failed to start and run. Never a problem with anything electrical, and the A/C cold at 105F.

To my taste and also judged by the attention this particular car gets, the color-combination is among the most desirable, the most elegant. As sophisticated as it is fast - - - "...a magnificent beast, wild of spirit but in full control of its powers, exuberant, yet disciplined."

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
