Description of 1956 Rolls-Royce Other

This vehicle is part of an estate liquidation. According to the family it was being driven up until 2010 when it developed a miss. It was taken to a local shop where they discovered no compression in the #1 cylinder. It was also checked by a family friend who determined it had a bad valve. I tried to start it but didn’t have any luck. Since it is getting spark I would assume it has a fuel problem. There is also an issue with the starter. About half the time it does not engage. The oil is dirty but I didn’t see any signs of water contamination. The radiator is in bad need of a flush but the core didn’t look like it was clogged. Most of the electrical tested good although the clock. temp gauge. and radio are not working. It doesn’t come with a battery. I am also not sure about the mileage. The odometer is obviously not correct (see picture). I wasn’t able to get much history on the vehicle. I did find out the  previous owner had it for roughly 25 years. The paint isn’t original but it was not painted during that time. The body is very straight. I checked it with a magnet and only found a little bondo in the left front fender. The paint looks nice but has several small flaws some of which are pointed out in the video. There is a ding in the driver’s side door. I didn’t see any other dents or dings. It is missing its hood ornament. There are also some light stains in the paint that don’t show in the pictures or video. The car still looks great despite these flaws. The wood in the interior is in excellent condition. There are some cracks in the steering wheel. The leather seats don’t  have any holes or tears and should look great once they are cleaned and conditioned.   I couldn’t get any good pictures or video of the underside of the car. It looks like the car was undercoated at one point and looks good except for a couple of tiny rust spots. All of the fenders are rust free.   Please let me know if you have any questions. When viewing this auction on a mobile devise please note that there are 18 pictures and one 6 minute video. Feel free to come take a look at the car if you are in the area. I can be reached at 530-591-3130. My location is Paradise Ca which is 1 ½ hours north of Sacramento. We have the Washington State title and all of the necessary paperwork to transfer ownership. A $200 paypal deposit will need to be made after the auction close. The balance can then be paid with cash or cashier’s check when it is picked up.           themidas-touch Store
