Rolls Royce 1980.

This car was purchased by the previous owner in 2008. At that stage the car was in very good condition and cost him €20,000. He used it for a couple of years clocking up nearly 5000 miles before the car was parked up due to the economic situation in Ireland.After charging the battery and putting in some fresh fuel, the car started without hesitation instantly pressurising the hydraulics. A  test drive showed the engine, gearbox, brakes, suspension and steering all to be in serviceable condition. However to recommission for the road,  the car will require 4 new tyres and repalcement rear wheel bearing. Also handbrake not working and a/c needs a regass.Mileage on clock reads 47000. According to the history file the speedo was changed at 8586 so total mileage is 55,000 miles. The vendor warrants the clock was working up to the time he parked it up but it is now frozen.Lots of correspondence in history file explains that first owner was a foreign gent who lived overseas and car was for occasional use for his wife in London.Comes with complete book pack with service history up to 36,000 miles (clock reading). Comes with 22 old MOTs and NCT (Irish Car Test).. Also large and small tools.A rare opportunity to acquire a significant car touted as ‘The Best Car in the World’ for a very insignificant sum.The car is currently registered in Southern Ireland. No VAT or duties are due on importation. We will provide NOVA certification and assist with reregistration in UK.
