Condition
6
The car is described as having undergone remedial and maintenance work but never fully restored, retaining much of its original yellow paintwork. It's an 'oily rag car' with refreshed electrics, refurbished wire wheels, and engine overhaul. The car has been enjoyed for family events and touring, participated in HM The Queen’s Golden Jubilee celebrations at Windsor Castle (2002) and the Centenary of Rolls-Royce festivities at Goodwood (2004). It runs well but the handling is getting a little delicate at speed.
