This incredible RHD 1967 Rolls Royce was purchased from Frank Dale and Stepsons in South London in 1982. Amazingly it was flown by Pan-Am Cargo 747 to JFK and picked up by the Rolls enthusiast lady owner and driven back to the Pacific North West. It arrived in New York with 78k miles on the clock, it now has just 88,070. Much historical paperwork authenticates this fabulous old Rolls and its mileage. This is a very rare early production Shadow low serial # SRH2350. It has all the 1967 period correct features not found even on some 68 models. It has picnic tables, quarter vent windows, chrome interior door pull handles, rear factory headrests, badge bar, original and working factory radio/power antenna etc. Other than having paintwork done due to bumps and bruises here and there, it's been serviced and is otherwise completely untouched over the past 46 years. This is an amazing project for anyone who knows and appreciates these early Shadows. The car was placed on blocks, covered and stored around 1995 and only re emerged about 2 months ago this year when the lady owner sadly passed away. With respect, she obviously loved this car from the day she set eyes on it. The body is solid as are the rocker panels. The front valance is rusted and replaceable with a newly available re manufactured panel, in fact just about any part new, repro or s/hand is available for these cars now. Every piece of original rubber weatherstriping is perfect with zero deterioration or damage, as is the original "Everflex" roof. There is no rust under the top, the floor, the trunk etc. The only other corrosion is a small dime side area on a rear quarter panel and a small patch low down by the rear mudguard and that's it! This car has a strong smooth running smoke free motor, the very rare "Hydramatic" 4 speed transmission (fitted to U.K. Right Hand Drive cars only) shifts through all the gears perfectly, all jacking tools, bag and battery box cover components are present but no tool kit or handbook. The car always starts up either by the key or by the under hood solenoid button as fitted to these early models. Coolant holds pressure beautifully with zero leaks, oil change and filter has just been done. It drives smooth with plenty of hesitation free power on the road. Please note this is a project car that will need at the very least proper servicing before being seriously driven anywhere! The exhaust system is blowing, the tires although "brand new looking" were new at 81k in 1983!! The brakes work but need servicing, some suspension parts require new seals, plus most probably hydraulic pump service/replacement etc. Interior is superb in every way. All windows work but need assistance going up. Driver power seat works, other has faulty switch. All other electrics work. Door cappings need re varnishing, wood dash is superb plus all gauges work exc clock, headlining, padded dash etc is totally original and superb. Cream/beige interior "Connolly" hide is amazing and superb as are the "Wilton" wool leather bound carpets complete with original drivers heel pad still in place. Nothing inside has been re colored re touched or messed with. Paintwork is old, dull and needs to be redone. Exterior chrome I would rate at a 5 out of 10. Radiator shell casing needs re soldering on one seam where the lead solder let go. So there you have it, I love this old car (anyone would) but it needs time and money spent on it by someone who knows Rolls Royce's. There is no reserve to make this totally unique one of a kind vintage Rolls Royce a very attractive and affordable project for just about any pocket book.
