Description
This is a truly first class, low mileage example of the highly desirable late flagship model. Not only has this outstanding car only covered 34, 650 miles from new with a wonderful full history, it spent the first 8 months with Rolls Royce Crewe and has since had four further owners.
This Royal Ebony with Parchment fine lines and Parchment Hide. 1997 model year car was first registered on the 23rd August 1996, and the chassis number 59213 for the 1997 model year was then registered to Rolls Royce. The car came with a high specification to include electric front seats with heating and four stage memory fronts, front telephone, rich burr walnut capping’s, electric mirrors, cruise control, air-conditioning, outside temperature gauge and lambswool rugs, rear quarter badges, piping to door arm rests and a triband aerial.
With only 237 built in total, and 73 RHD models, these cars are rare making this example something very special. The Rolls Royce comes with its original service books, manuals, spare keys and a comprehensive file of history demonstrating top quality maintenance throughout its life.

As well as the fully stamped service book there are a number of invoices in the file showing continuous servicing and maintenance showing no expense spared keeping this very special car in tip top order.
This is a beautiful motor car, the paintwork is first class and the bodywork beautiful throughout. Externally the car is very impressive, and it does not disappoint under the bonnet. The leather, burr walnut, carpets are all superb and I can only describe as close to factory new as you can find, and the general feel of the car is of a top class, beautifully maintained low mileage example. On the road the car is effortless, it performs perfectly with wonderful handling and performance, comfortable and incredibly luxurious experience.
This is a collector’s piece and will be difficult to repeat.
