The car was Delivered to Mady (Madeleine) Gordon on12/31/1984 it was a babied well cared for vehicle by its original for over 20years it license plate read “LVUBABY” just to give you a sense of her ownershippride, Mady owned the vehicle till 2004 and by that time it had only traveled amere 55,000 miles before its second owner took possession in Miami Florida. Thecar lived with him up until 2013 where it again was sparingly used and traveleda mere 5,000 while in his possession, the vehicle under his stewardship was simply for special outings, a fewshows, and sheer delight of ownership etc. Our client purchased the vehicle in 2015 from its 3rd owner. Afterhaving it inspected by Vantage Motorworks he was quite satisfied with the cleanbill of health it received and even  moreso passing the structural inspection was a key point of his decision ,  to insure it was truly a  well cared for example. The previous ownerwas also client of Vantage Motorworks as well and had the car serviced throughthem in the time he owned it,  andseveral of the receipts note that. A few leaks were uncovered in the report anda few inop items but that did not sway my client as he knew those were a simplefix and the overall Integrity of the car had been preserved. He purchased theautomobile and had it shipped to San Diego California in May of 2015 with62,000 miles on the odometer.

The car arrived, and it was fantastic, beautiful and drovegreat!! My client being a Local member of the Rolls Royce chapter again had thevehicle overlooked by our local team and found the car to be in remarkablecondition.  Its underpinning wereexcellent which warranted him to provide a proper restoration to the higheststandard. The vehicle had received in its prior ownership a new top, shockwork, regular service, several replacement parts  etc… but this car now was to be driven and enjoyed for many years to come.

So Now begins Chassis DAE07944 as a Meticulous servicedvehicle. Many of the components addressed below were not in dire need of repairbut having the Financial wherewithal, British car expertise and knowledge ofthe Rolls Royce community and shops to back him up , this vehicle was chosen toreceive a new life and this project exceed $60,000 in repairs under him!!!  every seal, connector, part and component wasto be addressed.
