OK, this write up will be a little bit more in depth.

1 of 16 made in left hand drive, 1 of 8 made with A/C

My client has some old/older/antique cars that he loves. I've done one before and will have a few more pretty interesting and cool ones coming in the future. He drives them all and loves all of them.

This Rolls has seen better days...mechanically it's great, but cosmetically...well that's a different story.

Original single stage paint, Full of swirls, scratches, lacquer checking, cracking paint, missing paint, thin paint down to the primer, dents, dings, etc. He wanted to see what I could do with his luxury liner! It was a full on SS massacre, black paint all over me, pitching numerous pads/towels when finished. But, I do enjoy some single stage paint! Very satisfying to work with.

6000 is crazy. Thanks for all you contribute. That car is a work of art and says a lot that they would trust you with it.

Nice save on such an elegant car!

Could you pass the Grey Poupon? :)

Funny story: When my oldest daughter got married, the car that drove us the few hundred yards from our staging point to the gazeebo where the ceremony was going to happen was a white RR a few years younger than this one. As I got in the car, I joked with the driver about never being able to see a vintage RR without remembering the commercials. He laughed and told me to open the small compartment in the back of the seat in front of me. Sure enough....he had stashed a jar of Grey Poupon in there!
 
Scott, love your articles and pictures! Could you include your customers reactions when they pick up the cars? Thank you!
